Makita LXT 18V Battery Mount V4
Description
If you've ever wanted to make use of those Makita LxT 18V batteries, you are going to want a solid and clean way to get to the battery terminals. This 3D print provides a plastic plate that slips onto the battery, snapping on just like a Makita power tool. The electrical terminals connections are reproduced using a genuine Makita spare part (643852-2), glued into place. You will need to source those separately, but relatively inexpensive for a Makita part. The 3D Makita LXT 18V Battery Mount is designed to directly and firmly fit the Makita 643852-2 Battery Terminal spare part, though I use epoxy resin glue to secure it permanently in-place. This is a revision to a past successful design. The most notable difference are the mounting holes. I also tweaked the design's details for even more precision. This design has the mounting holes accessed from underneath, necessary for a separate project. I've now created several projects based on this design, altering the basic width and length to accommodate a custom 3D printed box cover to fit the project. My print is made in PLA+ 1.75mm eSUN blue filament, with 0.2mm layer height and 35% infill on a PRUSA I3 MK3S printer. No print supports were necessary. I hope you can find this design useful, too. Remember to leave me some feedback or even a tip to keep me enthused to make more of these drawings. (Lookout for some of my 3D prints for my Makita battery projects and share your thoughts.)
