RasterInterruptThis week, I created this dispenser for AA and AAA batteries in #FreeCAD.
The FreeCAD file and STL can be found on Printables.

It’s very satisfying loading that thing.
However, on the long slide at the bottom of the AA battery compartment, the batteries sometimes turn sideways as they roll down and get stuck. About 10 or so have to be loaded from the front, but then it works well.
Elio Campitelli@rasterinterrupt Maybe you could make the AA dispenser on the other side so you don't havesuch a long stretch.
@rasterinterrupt ah, that won't work of you want the thing standing on a shelf, right? Sorry, that was a stupid comment 😅
@eliocamp You are right. The problem is the long stretch. I could place them next to each other maybe?
@rasterinterrupt Depends on where you need to put it. This design is good for a deep shelf. Maybe you could add a couple of brushes inside the long stretch to straighten them up as they fall?
