3d printed systainer for CTL cleantec for access to batteries

[jovienn]

Hey all,

I made a printable 3d model of a systainer to get access to the batteries of my ctlc vacuum when thereis a systainer on top.

I also made a video on how to assemble:

Happy printing

It’s a nice solution if you’re bothered by having to remove the Systainer for a battery change. Calling it the biggest design fail no one is talking about, sorry just lmao. Typical YT clickbait b/s. But hey, whatever works for you …

Kind regards,
Oliver

yes, definately clickbait title - I'm aware of that (and think I earned it with the free design of around 150h of work).

but my core statement is true nonetheless - I have not seen a bigger design flaw (which would be easy to change) and I've never seen anyone talk about in any review.

Nice design, must have taken quite some time to finetune all the tolerances so it assembles into a full systainer. Maybe when the Bambu XL comes out you can print it as (almost) one piece!

thanks!

Haha I hope so! I initially designed it for the Ender 3 MAX with 300x300 (printed the first version with it - just 5 pieces) and for convinience for other users I split it up to fit the 250x250 bed.

Maybe because a majority of users don’t consider it a flaw/ problem at all?

Kind regards,

true - it's just odd for me and an obvious misalignment which I'm not used to from festool as I'm eloborating in my video [smile]

It’s definitly a flaw when not looking thru rose colored glasses.

My glasses are Festool green.  [tongue]

I didnt realise this issue existed, i think that’s a laughable design fail from festool.

Yours is a nice solution. Would be nice if you could actually store something in that ‘fake’ Systainer. To make its bulk worthwhile.
EDIT: Just noticed you can store stuff in it. NICE!

I see a definite use case for Battery Access...  Thanks for taking the time and even more that you are willing to share your thoughts and work on this.  Thumbs up from me for sure.  In the future, keep in mind some folks spend their treasure on what they think is the perfect solution and get defensive when they hear not everyone sees the same use cases the way you do. 

Just kick the dust off your feet and move on knowing some of us appreciate the effort.

Thanks

Nice design and implementation.  As an engineer, I'd call it a design flaw since they're already extending the caboose.  There's no point in putting the hinge in the systainer's footprint.  'Biggest' might be debatable - Personally, I'm wishing they'd have kept some senior engineers to do the old skool 'are you sure about that?'  Although that's probably a microaggression these days.

I don’t know why Oliver is being a stick in the mud on this topic. . I didnt realise this issue existed, i think that’s a laughable design fail from festool.

I saw he was storing bags in there.  Having a dowel/handle fitted int he center so you could lift it like one of the toolboxes might make it even more useful.

I'm with the consensus that this is a crap design for battery access. Especially given how short the batteries last.

Sensational job on the model and print result, really very nicely done!

Thanks for the encouragement!
