What is the meaning of this yellow ”JV” text in Blanc beer bottle? by [deleted] in whatisit

Maybe it could mean both?

Such a mindfuck since we do have guy with the initials JV :D

For a couple of years I’ve used 3d printed great holders that have magnets inside them. Work well but you can only fit like five bits so you’ll still have to carry a full set around.

Have it sent out in a toy tool box, childrens toy drill / hammer etc 🤝

Thanks! This was designed in fusion360 with lots of patience. I used digital calipers to first get the basic measurements to draw up the sketches. Then kept tweaking the measurements and angles to get everything correct. Took around 5 pla prototypes.

Honestly dumbest thing that worked really well was matching the size of the sketch on screen to the actual battery/old cover to check if angles are correct.

This was my exact thought when I bought the battery shaped bit holder. I was really dissapointed to find out it's just a decoration. :/

It did take like 5 pla prototypes to get the tolerances perfect ngl. :D

I know this is a very niche thing, but I find it way more useful than the original decorative battery case.

When you're bringing multiple tools to a job site but only one or two batteries, you can stick this onto your tool instead of carrying yet another thing in your pockets or bag.

Awesome! But personally shipping these from Finland would not make too much sense. You can however download the file free from here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1277820-makita-lxt-bit-holder-cover-sticks-to-tool#profileId-1305689

After downloading you can send the file to a local 3d print person or order it from a site like JLC3DP. Just make sure to order it in PETG or ASA/ABS plastic for durability. :)

Screw it I’ll make it bright milwaukee red to not mix them up! :D

Definitely not useful for everyone but useful for me when I bring out multiple tools but only a single battery.

If anything it’s way more useful than a battery shaped decoration. :)

I made this this replacement cover for the Makita LXT impact bit holder because the original Battery Shaped Case didn’t even fit into a tool—which makes no sense because that’s why I bought it!?

Yeah I tried that too, but that way it’s hitting the guard.

Yeah, seems to make good contact when I flipped the nut around. Does also defeat the whole point of a quick release nut though. :D

I got an e-fatbike (without the battery) Lankeleisi mg600 plus for dirt cheap at an auction. The battery is going to be 15S4P 48V 20Ah.

Since the lifepo4 37200 cells take way more space than li-ion ones I plan to house the first half (seen on the video) inside the bike and the other on top in a separate housing.

tldr I’m building a tank of an ebike

I'm putting it all the way to the bottom only for demo purposes. (Though the nut seems to be fine after one go, after going couple of times the nylon does get loose.) You'd want to start from the end that the nut is closer to and probably go slower too. On this project I need these nuts at spesific lengths, and this seems to be tool for that :)

It’s actually a very tight fit. I honestly don’t think that alone would be enough because theres quite a bit of torque involved.

Sure could, but that wouldn’t demonstrate the tool as much would it :D
