No, and I sure hope they consider adding some down the road.
I was less than impressed with the bits I got from Instructables.

I thought they had said that was one of the pg that was going to be offered…oh well…we will see.
I like your idea about the oldest batteries coming out first. I hadn’t thought of that, and it is always a problem for me, especially with rechargeable batteries.
Ha! I have several of these 3D printed and love them. So much so that a year plus ago I designed my own version for laser cutting in preparation for the arrival of the Glowforge. I have to say, your design is quite a bit more attractive than the utilitarian version I developed.
Thanks for posting. I am now inspired to revisit my design!
How about a curved (almost cylindrical) shape using living hinge (with the same ramp inside). but lightly engraving it to look like a giant battery ? which brings up a question… can you engrave a living hinge? (Compensating for the hinges "stretch/expansion)? hmmm…
This is beautiful! Wow. Love it Jules! If this makes it into the catalog somehow I’d totally buy the print!
Oh cool! Was wondering whether to offer it. (Still deciding…and that kind of input helps.)
Absolutely! I love the look and functionality of it. I have a bag of batteries I need to sort, so this would be awesome to help keep track!
I’d need to see the other catalog items that Glowforge is going to offer…I hate to work up something that they already have covered in-house. (Battery dispenser boxes are a pretty popular item - they probably already have one worked up.)
Definately!!
Add me to the list! I need them in 4 sizes (AAA, AA, C and D). Would be WAY cool to be able to have 1 design and choose parameters for each battery size.
And once we get proofgrade steel, I totally want to put in “car battery” to the parameter… (that’s my excuse to the wife of why I need a Wazer)
Chuckle! C and D batteries are too large for the rolling treatment. They require a different design. (Pull out drawer was what I did before.)
AA and AAA would be worked up like this though - but the design is specific to each battery size, since the spacing requirements on the fins and slot sizes change for each kind of battery.
That would be a trick to make totally parametric though…I might try it out just for grins.
Merge the coin sorter construction with the battery holder and get a battery sorting holder ! hmmm Drop it down through layers with concentric sized holes… smaller battery makes it to bottom… after you drop a battery, push a lever causing the battery to (be pushed?) fall sideways in whatever level it is on and roll to the appropriate “bin”… well it’s a start ?
Dangit. Used up my likes today. Here, have these, they’re prettier anyway.
Maybe slap some bacon grease in it.
A big olé D-cell rolling out at you could do some damage, to your toes.
Not compared the the one I want to build. An Interstate 600CCA rolling out would be a dive-for-cover situation…
I’m going to have to figure out how to incorporate the charger at the bottom…
we go through a ton of batteries at the church I preach for (microphones, etc). Now I neeeeed one of these
