2025-08-30 (Sa) BonfireLaserTag Battery holder printing plugs

I printed the first handle model, but I could not fit a battery through the threads. I checked, and they were smaller than the battery's diameter. I fixed the thread size. I modeled the threaded plug with a flathead screwdriver slot, although it was comically oversized, yet too thin for a coin. The center had a hexagonal hole halfway through the plug. A 4mm hex key fit neatly into the hole, but I could only generate a bit of force on the soft plastic. The plug would not go far into the socket, so I need to modify the threaded portions.
