🔥 Explore this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 Category: ✅ Here’s what you’ll learn: Designing a simple battery holder in OpenSCAD. Earlier this year I designed a very basic box/organizer for AA and AAA batteries in Autodesk Fusion, making it parameterized so that by changing a few variables one could adjust the battery type/size, rows/columns, etc. This worked well, and after uploading it to Printables earlier today I realized that reimplementing it would probably be a good way to learn the basics of OpenSCAD.
