I have a thread running on the interest of some battery carriers. That thread started as my intent to design a 3AA>1D carrier that could stack end to end, and followed my progress, which quickly transformed into a different strategy, as the necessary hardware for a good well built carrier just can't be set up in a 3AA>1D size without going over the 1D length. That thread has become long and difficult to work through (mostly my fault, as I tend to ramble way too much... here I'll prove it..)
I've decided to start a new thread to share some of what I am working on. Before I get started: [This Is Not A Sales Thread]...
I am merely wanting to take this opportunity to share with the CPF community my new battery carrier design. I will add updates in the next few weeks with information on when I intend to start a sales thread (I intend to build and sell these when I have a working method of building them efficiently figured out)
Also, in case anyone is interested in building their own carrier based on these designs, I am going to start a thread somewhere (either here or in the home-made/modified section) with complete instructions and details on building one yourself. I'll have that thread up and running probably somewhere in early 2008 hopefully. My feeling is that I wouldn't be doing this if it weren't for CPF. The design I have come up with belongs to CPF. The advantage of the design is that most home garages with a few tools can build this very decent quality adapter in an afternoon provided you gather the right fasteners, bits, plastic rod, and pieces parts. However, the cost of building one will probably not be much if any cheaper than ordering a completed one from me (as there are minimum order quantities for the plastics, and fasteners bought in small quantities at places like Ace cost a lot per piece).. But I think the option should be there to do so. All I ask is that no one begin production of this design with intent to sell.
For now, On to the pictures:
