I can’t say I have *that* much experience printing them, but I did recently buy a M100 with a broken battery cover and printed myself a replacement. I just used the same black PLA I’d been using prior.
The tabs are definitely the difficult part, they’re very fragile and trimming supports off without damaging them is very difficult. I broke a tab trimming mine off, but it’s a tight enough fit that it stays on regardless, so I didn’t bother to reprint it. I believe this is the one I printed: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:955711 I see there’s another one with redesigned tabs that look slightly stronger, that might be worth a try. > On Jun 16, 2022, at 1:40 PM, Stephen Adolph <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Wondering if people have had good luck with 3d printing battery covers? > I'm aware of several designs on Thingiverse, all a bit different. > I guess the weak spot is really the tabs. > > What is the best material and process to print these? > Is there a "best design" to use? > > thanks > Steve > >
