About this design

The Battery Dispenser AA/AAA is a battery holder you print yourself, for the wall, the utility cupboard or a drawer unit. Batteries sit in tubes; the bottom one rolls forward into a tray. That way you always take the oldest battery first.

Viewing slits show how many are left. Each tube has its own refill opening at the top of the front. On top is a box for used batteries with a drop slot in the lid, so you can collect them until you recycle them.

  • Large: 157.2 × 40 × 172 mm, two AA tubes and one AAA tube
  • Compact: 103.6 × 40 × 172 mm, one AA tube and one AAA tube
  • About 8 AA per AA tube and 11 AAA per AAA tube
  • Box for used batteries with lid, optional desk foot
  • No supports, digitally checked for printability

Print tips: 0.2 mm layers, 3 walls, 15% infill, PLA or PETG. Print the dispenser upright, the way it hangs; lid and foot flat. Avoid an over-squished first layer so the batteries roll freely.

Mounting: with 2 countersunk 4 mm screws through the back wall inside the top box; the heads end up under the lid. Or stand it on the desk foot. At 172 mm tall it fits a printer with a 180 mm build height. You get six STL files and one 3MF.

Designer's tip

Print the dispenser upright, the way it hangs. Lid and foot flat. Mount it with 2 countersunk 4 mm screws through the back wall inside the top box (the heads end up under the lid). Fill each tube through the opening at the top of the front; the large version holds about 8 AA per AA tube and 11 AAA. Used batteries go through the slot in the lid. Avoid an over-squished first layer so the batteries roll freely.

Frequently asked questions

How many batteries does it hold?

About 8 AA per AA tube and 11 AAA per AAA tube. The large version has two AA tubes and one AAA tube, the compact version one of each.

Why does the oldest battery come out first?

You fill from the top and take from the bottom. New batteries go on top of the stack and the bottom one rolls forward, so you use them in order.

How do I mount it?

With 2 countersunk 4 mm screws through the back wall, inside the top box. The screw heads disappear under the lid. Without screws, stand it on the included desk foot.

What is the box on top for?

Used batteries. Drop them through the slot in the lid and take them to a collection point later.
