Anyone who has a 3d printer I've uploaded a Lucas battery cap stl to fit a century type 41 battery to both thingiverse and maker world.  If you are lucky enough to have a bambu labs printer with ams the maker world stl is a two colour print.  The thingiverse stl is an embossed version.  Just wipe some red paint into the embossing.

Now to paint the battery!  Enjoy

Awesome!!!    So who has a Bamboo Labs printer that can knock these up?  I reckon you would sell a few.

Is the red lettering able to be printed into the cap instead of hand painting?

I'm thinking of printing some as a fundraiser for this site, however I would need some help.  Happy to send 10 sets across the tasman if there is someone can distributed them.  They will be printed and sent free of charge from my end but all I ask from those who want a set is you make a donation to this site.  

 

I'll provide the one with the red printed lettering using PETG.

 

Cheers

I'd be happy to distribute them, except I am on the wrong side of the country really.  Definitely count me in for a set though.
