They are adorable.
I would recommend a couple changes if you're interested. It would print faster if there were just infill between the very bottom and the battery floor, rather than all that milk crate lattice. Also, I think the letters would glue on more easily if the inset for the letters on the box itself were a little larger. This is more for the AAA than the AA.
Proof-of-Print quality Post - Prints Perfect w/ .4mm @ .20mm quality with PLA (grey) and PETG (black). Text inserts fit nicely (add a micro-dot of crazy glue to make it permanent). Picture illustrates the batteries top protrusion level for both AA & AAA. My wife LOVES these, it's the battery box we never knew we needed lol! Now I have to print a 2nd set for her father! :D (edited)
Greetings fellow makers! I designed the all-new product, Bear-Bag-Ball specifically for the currently active Prusa “Summer Camping” contest. I truly feel it makes hanging your camp trash safer and easier! If you can spare a moment or two, please give the post a read (it also has a video demonstrating it in use). If you think it’s a good idea, please consider clicking like/comment, downloading it, and for the ultimate in maker comradery, print it and post the make!

My sincere thanks for your consideration! -oRIDDLERo
Adapter ring works perfectly, although the newer hue bulbs most definitely need a very small amount shaved off the inner ring of the moon to fit. They will definitely not fit, and you do not want to use force or you will crack your bulb. I used a dremel with a sander bit and just ran it around the inside ring of the moon until it slid inside and spun the adapter in place. Thank you for the model!
@Steves3DPrint_310795 hey, good to know and thank you for posting the make! Yeah, I shaved my moon hole a bit as well it was a super tight fit, it only needed about a millimeter of sanding, however it simple and lets you keep everything at 100% scale.
If you put it the way the picture shows, the loop bows in on both sides like a B, so I flipped it around, so it's a nice circle. Not the best design in practice. Also, quite hard to put the strap on... you have to push a few of the pegs into the holes, it's a tight fit - hope you have fingernails.
@JonathanLevi I think we both missed the instructions where it said print the holder in a rigid filament and the band in TPU. It works much better that way. I printed the holder in PLA-CF and the band in TPU.
Proof of quality make-post, SUPER clean, symmetrical w/ a perfect weight to strength ratio imo. 4 Legged Goooose is holding the for AirTag Card for attention (sorry, I found Mr. GOOSSE, my CPQO - Chief Print Quality Assurance Officer on printables last night and i'm obsessed). URL for Goooose = https://www.printables.com/model/250536-goooose you need one in your life! (edited)
@KennyReniff_358201 - hey, thank you for posting the make, made this model for a competition a long time ago and it never really caught on, but I still have mine on my desk and I absolutely love it LOL
Puts my favorite mini tape measure exactly where I want it, next to my calipers LOL (edited)
Thanks for posting this useful print. I had watched a former co-worker cut the end of a popsicle stick down a few times to fit in a drill and mix paint. I thought it was a good idea, and even commented to him that it would be a good idea to print a holder to save the trouble, and sure enough here it is!
I printed these at high speed out of ABS on a Voron 2.4 using a 0.6mm nozzle, and 0.3mm layer height, so the prints look kind of rough, but they fit my popsicle sticks fine and they are just going to get tossed after use anyway. (edited)
Printed perfectly using active TPU drying while printing.
Was looking for a model like this one. Works great. Nice design!
I printed mine (rainbow) and as soon as my wife saw it, she wanted one too.
It works great.
I'm very curious how this would turn out printing it in TPU... 🤔
@oriddlero Yeah, the cash slot is a tiny bit narrow if you want to put in a few bills. If you put in an old/soft bill, it's nearly impossible to get in there, so it might benefit from a bit of extra space.
The only other issue I had was with really thin cards. My health insurance cards are really thin and just fall out.. but 2 of them (medical + vision) are too fat to fit in 1 slot. I'm not sure there's a decent solution for that though.
I will let you know about the TPU.. it's printing now :)
@tommck Hmm, I would say I would just increase one of the credit card slots to accommodate a double-stack of thin insurance cards but it would probably over complicate things (everybody else will have different thicknesses) it's probably best to keep things simple for the card slots.
Honestly, if the TPU print goes well it might be the solution. The extra flexibility may allow you to fit both your medical and vision cards into one slot. I'm excited to hear how it turns out (hopefully good) lol
@PauGarreta_1073208 Lol, looks well loved :D
Nice and easy to print model. Might be on the small side for large phones, but could hold an iPhone SE just fine.
Printed on my MK3s+ with 0.6 mm nozzle and 0.2 mm layer height in colorFabb Woodfill Fine.
Had to slow down the print but came out very well and without supports. Love the design!
It's like... pretty much what you said in the description 'The Best Knob of Both Worlds' haha... The attached speed rotation ring feel much better than the divot style used in other knob models. I like how you have to conscientiously press the knob (not the ring) to make actual selections as pushing on a divot or ring would put mechanical stress on the knob shaft... It also give you a chance you think twice before clicking after speed-scrolling!
Hi, I really don’t understand how somebody can win a contest with using more than 50% of my own design, it’ s a bit weird
@CMPND3D_292810 Thanks for the joyous laughter. ON THE INTERNET!!!!!!!
@RunBuh_323360 ^^ This. 10/10 loco. (edited)
This is a great design! I need to add some magnets to it so it stays put on my quad hands.
Just wanted to post some feedback regarding vibration noise, it's not the trays that make noise, it's what you put in them. Something like a pair of pliers and some larger tools will make any noise but if you have small things in there like razor blades or dust filters etc. they can bounce around to make a little bit of noise. I keep a lot of stuff in my tray so I decided I would just use some form I had lying around and make foam bottoms, now they are completely silent no matter what you put in the tray :)
Printed in black matte PETG, stronger than they look! The Sun/Moon weights around 7lbs. (edited)
