The parametric battery holder (9V default) / OpenSCAD custom container generator is a free printable 3D model from Thingiverse by Shmoee. I wanted a custom 9V battery holder so I developed a parameterized container generator in OpenSCAD. You can download the STL file from the original listing below and print it at home.
About this model
I wanted a custom 9V battery holder so I developed a parameterized container generator in OpenSCAD. The program is generic and is useful for other sized containers (such as to accommodate other types of batteries or for organizing beads, screws and nuts, SD cards, etc) with some simple parameter changes. I uploaded a bunch of battery holder .stl files of varying width and lengths generated from OpenSCAD code for convenience but it is also straight forward to do yourself. If you don't know about OpenSCAD, give it a try. It is a very powerful tool. Also, to help people that may be interested in modifying this code for other battery sizes, I quickly measured batteries I have. I have not checked these measurements against official specifications and there will be some variation so double-check…
