This is a cut-off and slightly modified version of the original design by enif on Thingiverse. I designed this for building battery packs out of 18650 cells, where the cells are most efficiently stacked in a staggered pattern. I have not actually built a pack out of these yet, since I've just made my first functioning prints. I'm printing in PETG, but ABS should also work. PLA may be too stiff. Use 100% infill. Batteries should be inserted near the spring where the thing is most flexible, and then pushed towards the flat side. Unfortunately I don't know enough about OpenSCAD to make this parametric like the original.

Printed using PETG. ABS should work too. PLA is probably too stiff. Use 100% infill in order to make a strong part that supports tension well.
