Printable Stub Case Adapts AA Cells to C

A standard-sized AA cell is 0.5mm longer than a standard-sized C cell, but in practice that difference is negligible. ย Besides “stub case,” an adapter like this is also sometimes called a “sabot.” ย They can be purchased commercially, but I’d just as soon print my own. ย And now I can. Thanks again, Thingiverse!
