AA to D cell battery adapter

A hollow shell the size of a D cell that carries a single AA battery, letting you run a lantern, radio or toy on the smaller cells you already have. A D cell is 34.2 mm in diameter and 61.5 mm long; the shell uses those dimensions with a 14.8 mm bore for the AA, a bottom well that positions the negative end flush with the base, and an opening at the top so the AA's positive nub protrudes. A 3 mm side slit makes it easy to pop the AA out. Open the ready-made model free, resize it on your phone or computer, then download a print-ready STL, 3MF or G-code sliced for your printer, free.
Opening the ready-made model and downloading it as STL or 3MF are free, no card; AI changes use credits, from Maker at $7.99 a month.No printer? We print this part and ship it to your door. See its priceUpdated

Fit notes

SpeakCAD builds the adapter to your exact cell type, including AAA to AA, 18650 to D or C-size shells, and gets the nub protrusion right so contact is reliable. Preview in the browser and ask for a two-cell version or a thinner wall to save filament.

A shared STL is modelled for someone else's measurements. Here you open the ready-made model free, change it to your measurements in the viewer, then download a file sized for the part you actually own, free as STL or 3MF.

Yes. SpeakCAD slices the part on its servers with OrcaSlicer and your printer's official profile (380+ printers, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and Elegoo), and you download the G-code (a sliced .gcode.3mf for Bambu Lab printers). G-code sliced for your printer costs the same as the STL: included in every plan, free for a part you shaped by hand, 4 credits without a plan for a part with AI work in it. Pick your printer on the printers page to see its profile.

No. SpeakCAD runs in the browser on your phone or computer: the chat, the 3D engine and the live viewer load in the tab. The only file you download is the finished STL, 3MF or sliced G-code.
