Why I designed this

I travel lots for work and when going through security for flights, the security personnel always want my batteries in bags or protected in some way to prevent accidental shorting of the battery terminals. I looked around online and the options I found didn't totally appeal to me as I wanted more a sleek design. 

Print Recommendations

• Supports
  • Not required
• Infill
  • Gyroid, 15%. Add modifier to the clip area at the front, increasing to 20% for extra strength in high-wear zones.
