DeWalt Magnetic Battery Cover & Mount
Description
***For Non-Magnetic Holder, Scroll Down*** +++++++++++++++MAGNETIC HOLDER+++++++++++++++++ Easy way to have a battery cover AND a wall mount in one. I wanted to have a battery cover for my DeWalt 20v batteries, but I didn't like having a piece wall mounted and then having to find a cover to put on before loading the batteries into my tool box. I wanted to grab-and-go! So this uses a permanent wall plate/mount with strong magnets and a bottom lip support mounted to the wall, and a battery cover that can quickly be taken off the mount, and tossed into your toolbox. The magnets on the cover can also be used to mount the batteries to the side of a metal toolbox or storage shed. I printed this using an Ender 3 Max and I also printed some using a Prusa MK3S+. I printed it at 60mm/s speed, 0.2mm layer height, no brim, no supports, using both a 0.6mm nozzle (E3MAX) and 0.4mm nozzle (Prusa), both with 20-30% infill. I bought these magnets on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0772PFC89?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details but all you need is a 60x10x3mm bar magnet. These magnets are pretty common so it should be easy to find. I then super-glued the magnets into the respective slots which fit just right. You don't need much glue as the fitment of the magnets in the slot will push the glue out of the sides. I used Aron Alpha AA-577 Type-232 industrial super glue (also bought on amazon). -MAKE SURE THE MAGNETS ARE ATTRACTING AND NOT REPULSING BEFORE GLUING!!!! Check the magnets actually are in the right orientation before gluing down! ++++++++++NON-MAGNETIC HOLDER++++++++++++++++++++ I also uploaded a hook-type version for people who don't want to buy the magnets and just want a wall-mount, quick-release cover and holder. These don't require magnets, but there is a hook sticking out of the top of the battery cover. For these, I made the hook as thick as possible to prevent breakage so it should be ok so long the batteries aren't tossed into a loose tool box with a bunch of other loose tools. For the hook version, I printed the same settings, but you will need to add supports for the hook. -Mini Wall Mount: I also added a slim wall mount for people who want to mount this to a toolbox. The mini mount should be printed at 100% infill or perimeter/wall count set to 10. This is just in case someone wanted to use a smaller mount. Feel free to remix with Milwaukee, Ridgid, Craftsman, etc... and if someone can figure out a Ryobi version. Post your makes and let me see if you like it!
