News of the project.

The most difficult is finding a factory which can 3Dprint a lot of boxes for a good price.
My first box needed 45hours of printing.

The second difficulty is shipping from France to USA Australia with a low price and a safe shipping.

Perhaps an option is to sell the CAD plans, then the buyers can have them printed locally. I'd bet there are places to have things printed just about anywhere.

That's the great thing about 3D Printing, no need to ship large potentially fragile items.

I would be interested in at least 5.

Shipping, have you looked into Transglobal Express. If this company was in the US, all other carriers would be out of business. In the US we can accept delivery from Transglobal, just can't ship out of the US, unless the receiving party has an account.

I would be in for one of these! I have the original battery cover in a box in my basement because of course it won't fit the Optima.

Great engineering I hope you make lots of money villemi for all your hard work. Think about mass production as it will be cheaper.

Excuse me for late answer.
It's difficult to find a 3D printing factory which can make the boxes quickly with a good price.
I hope finding a solution in september after holidays.

I will buy (2) also. Can you send the design to a manufacturer in China? Have a couple hundred made. Idea

I can't believe Interstate discontinued! I love that battery. Now I will have to make sure that the battery tender is doing its job, especially when it starts to get really cold here.
