Greetings all. I have designed a sled that will allow the fitment of 3 x 18650's into a Hammond 1590B. The sled is designed to use Keystone 209 contacts on both ends. They are printed in ABS plastic and the cost with contacts is 8$ plus shipping. Without contacts they are 5$ plus shipping.

3D Printed 3 x 18650 sleds for Hammond 1590B

Great job that looks nice. Do you have any pics of a completed one or one installed in a 1590b so we could see how she fits?
What's your lead time to produce this if we order one?

I am also interested in a different sled. I would purchase a sled for the God 180.
As it is now the batteries sit on the bare circuit board trusting the contacts and foam compression to secure them.
Unfortunately, I can only give dimensions. The following are the inside (space available) dimensions: God 180, with 3 X 18650:
2 9/16" wide X 3" height X 11/16" deep X 1/2" curved corners X 2 11/16" height between contacts can add 5/16".
Batteries have a lot of room for movement, side to side. The contacts are standard BK-5231 and are 3/8" wide standing the height of the 18650.
As the depth is the actual size of an 18650 (with enough room for the foam glued on the cover,) the valley floor needs to be somewhat thin.
Thanks in advance,
MacFalic

Here is the Finished Tray for 3x18650's in the Hammond 1590. I can design others just need schematics from the manufacturer on the enclosure or very accurate measurements.
Looks great!
The only suggestion I would make is to put the plus/minus markings on there. People tend to forget those things when it is not obvious.
How it the connective wiring being done? Perhaps a pic from the bottom could be useful. Nice work though.
That does look really nice.
After consideration, all I would need for the God 180 is the bed itself. The bed would have no connection ends, simply providing a more secure bedding for the batteries. The aim is to cancel side to side movement.

I think you would do the Positive / Negative markings yourself based on your build and how you wire it up - Series or parallel.
I would like to see pictures on how she fits in the 1590b enclosure and if we would need to make any modifications to the battery tray to have it sit nicely.

Thanks for all the complements guys. I don't actually have a photo of one installed in a box. I have sold 13 of them so far and the client has already produced all 13 box mods. I'll work on a photo, in the mean time here is a link to where they can be purchased.
