240 <p><img src="make,%203.png" class="img-responsive" alt="make,%203.png">
245 As regular user of this tool, I got annoyed that original cell
246 batteries run empty so fast and I have to worry about finding
252 <p><img src="make,%202.png" class="img-responsive" alt="make,%202.png">
257 So I added AAA battery compartment to the bottom, and now I can use
258 relatively large capacity and rechargeable NiMH batteries.
263 <p><img src="make,%201.png" class="img-responsive" alt="make,%201.png">
268 The new problem I got is, how can I store and carry this thing
269 around. So special case is designed.
274 <p><img src="box.png" class="img-responsive" alt="box.png">
279 And special cover. Design utilizes <a href="https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00TACKU0O/">3mm x 2mm thick neodymium magnets</a>
280 to keep cover magnetically attached to storage box.
285 <p><img src="cover.png" class="img-responsive" alt="cover.png">
290 My printer can print only 120x120x120 mm objects. So only the most
291 delicate part is protected. There is some empty space in the box
292 because of geometry of the tool. It can be used as small storage
293 compartments for something.
