- 100618
- Artboard 2; various sizes of LiPo batteries for .50cal ammo box
- color code cuts so inside cuts occur before outside cuts
- engrave text into material
- 102819 - Artboard 3,4; AAA, AA, and C battery storage
Feature Requests
- 082718 - [34mm bottles] higher middle for side structural ridigity
- 082718 - ALL; multiple mid notches for different size containers (see Tested example)
- 082718 - ALL; top and bottom notch for stacking (see Tested example)
- 082718 - ALL; bottom floor (notch) needs to be higher to accomodate stacking notch
- 082718 - ALL; etch label on side so container type can be known if containers are obscured (see Tested example)
- 082718 - ALL; proper sized side notch heights for material being used (add annotation for users to remember to change this)
- 102819 - [AA batteries] - potential mid mid horizontal layer to stabilize batteries
- 102819 - [AA batteries] - feet to stabilize weight in middle of horizontal bottom piece
- 110919 - [AA batteries] - Need to add vertical height (? at least 1mm) from bottom of vertical piece to horizontal floor piece for structural integrity. Acrylic cracked in current spacing.
