At @Pmac’s suggestion I decided to implement a battery indicator! Thanks for the brilliant idea (:

New cover files have been added:

New Part:

Instructions:

  1. Slot the battery indicator into the insert as shown below. Secure it into the slot with 2 screws (highlighted in blue). Any black screws used in the Mini Remote will do.

Note:

  • Use a small nylon washer/nut between the screw and the 3d print. If not, ignore using the screws and simply use hot glue to secure it to the print. It works!

  1. Solder 2 wires to the positive and negative terminals of the battery indicator and connect them in parallel to your battery, (+ve connects to +ve, -ve connects to -ve).

Note (Optional):

  • You can simply solder them onto the inputs of the TP4056A pcb where your battery connects to!

  1. Press the button on the cover to read the battery level of the remote!

  2. Enjoy! It should look like this from the outside:

Some SLA prints for some forum orders! :smiley: Sadly, not the one with the battery meter. ): Would have to order a new top cover for that. The plain version looks pretty cool too!

Those look great. Is it possible to purchase only the printed case? If yes, what would the price be? Are there other colors available?

Already PM-ed you :slight_smile: and here’s your metallic red remote case! Red is apparently v.popular haha. About 50% of those I made are metallic or candy red.

Hmm only issue I’m having is the battery. I’m planning on printing the longer handle. @Linny’s solution photos look like the 30mm dimension is crucial but the other length could maybe go a bit longer?

I found a 103050 :thinking:

178

Longer batteries are fine if youre printing the long version. It can take up to 55mm batteries iirc.

I’ll have to check though haha. 55mm is an approximate, i dont have access to the file right now so I can’t confirm
