This battery tray was designed for my D12 Mini build, but it could be useful for other pickups and bodies where the battery needs to be low in the back of the truck. It is only compatible with the stock battery as the battery helps to brace the shock mounts. The tray was designed for use with the stock rails, but it may work with some aftermarket rails as well.
There are multiple parts to improve strength and make it easier to print. The front battery endstop glues in with 2-3 drops of CA glue. This is a low-stress part, so it's really not an issue. The shock mounts and back endstop mount with M1.4 x 4mm or 5mm screws (6, total).
There are two back endstop options - one with provisions for magnet mounting and one without. If you use the magnet mount, you will need (4) 10mm x 2mm neodymium magnets (2 for the top and 2 for the bottom).
You can use the stock Velcro strap to secure the battery. I use a small, flat rubber band because it is even lower profile.
- PETG tested and recommended
- The print orientation of each part should be pretty obvious. The shock mounts must print laying down for strength.
- 100% infill
