Summary

I am going to be traveling soon so I wanted a case that would meet the TSA requirement that all batteries had to be isolate from each other so that the contacts can not touch each other, or other batteries. I designed this case to fit that bill. Can double as general transport and storage for the eflite batteries. I have recently returned from a trip out of country where I used this case. I got through TSA as well as the foreign countries security on the way back without issue. Also of note, I printed out the official lipo travel rules. I can not guarantee what your experiences with TSA will be, use this at your own risk. I will say if you do the research and know the rules and can answer questions correctly and with authority when asked things go a lot smoother.

As for the print itself, The lid slides on pretty well and its pretty snug, you may need to sand it to get a good fit. You also might need to sand down the locking nub, by default it held a little too aggressive with my print but quickly solved by sanding it down a little. I printed mine at 20% infill and support, however with the fillets that I used, it may actually print well without support. If you print it, let me know what settings you used and what results you got. Share some pictures and your feedback.

A compartment for the charger would be a really nice addition!

I'll have to think about a good way to do it. I actually own 3 chargers at this point, integrating 2 might be a good fit. I want to avoid making it overly large.Someone had also suggested to me to make the dividers a little lower so that the batteries are not flush with then, Also a good idea I might implement. If I do these, I'll offer them as varients, not direct replacements for the original files.

Very cool, thanks for sharing!
