Description

  The Watertight Battery Flatpack is my third iteration of watertight battery storage designed around keeping the batteries you need in your range bag, camping kit or hunting gear in a watertight shadowboxed organizer.  The first two designs were pucks, sealed using commonly available o-rings.  This one capitalizes on form factor, measuring 5" across, 6.7" long and just over an inch in thickness.  It utilizes a TPU gasket to keep the water out, unlike the previous o-ring models, and fits far better into cargo pockets, backpack compartments or interior compartments in a range bag.  

  This model carries the following batteries:

  • 1 9v
  • 2 CR123A
  • 4 AA
  • 6 AAA
  • 2 CR2032
  • 2 CR1632

  I've included a picture of how to assemble.  This design prints with no supports needed, no AMS needed.  I would print in PETG since you can expect something like this to sit in a car or a pack for awhile on hot days and PLA won't handle that while PETG will.  

 

  Comments, critique and requests welcome!

 

  For the guys who a TPU gasket isn't an option currently, the o-ring design is here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1489139-battery-puck-2-0#profileId-1556232

6/21/25 UPDATE:  Two things.  

  1. Added a nameplate.  There is an option to print the case without the nameplate, or with one, plus an example nameplate and a blank one.  Either can be added with the standard Bambu Studio text editor.
  2. Made the side latches a bit easier to work.  Eased them up so they don't need nearly the break-in period they were needing prior.

  Thanks for all the support, the comments and the downloads.  Let me know what else you could see being useful with this design.

6/26/25 UPDATE: Uploaded a blank tray STEP file by request.  The slots in the top are still cut into it, and you'll need a way to access them from underneath, so factor that into your extrusions, or you won't be able to attach it to the cap.

 

2/27/26 UPDATE: A new, modular, Flatpack design is out here.  Build out your pack specific to your battery needs.
