Way cool. I did redesign the bat clips to be printed in TPU and it's uploading to Thingiverse as I type...

FWIW, I've added a number of new designs to my Thingiverse acct: Thingiverse - Digital Designs for Physical Objects

Marlin for the printer.
Onshape.com for my cad
Cura 5 for the slicer

I just bought a Crealty Ender 3 S1 Pro a month or two ago. I had a horrid start with a bad CR Touch, but once I sussed that out, it's been stellar.

My 4S3P battery holder for an Underwater Can light is progressing right along. I made a number of mods to the files to get them fitting tighter and to allow me to lock them together. For that I had to increase my CAD skills, which was fun and last night I ran a 10 hour print with 3 walls and 99% infill. This morning I started assembling:

Bottom battery contancts installed. Clips and connector in place with holes aligning.

but there is not black cap

These are for 18650 batteries. This is a 4S (four series), 3P (three parallel). Start with negative at one end and switch back to positive on the way back up, and do that three times. Connect the three negatives at the top to your negative side of the light and the positive three sides to the negative. Hopefully, you have a switch wired in your circuit.
