#SHORTS

Can't find CR2043 batteries in your neck of the woods and refuse to pay through the nose on shipping? Why not use some of the CR2032's that seem to be self replicating in your junk drawer? Print a sabot and forget about it!

Glad to know. You live fearlessly man pushing down on that swing-arm!

[@RonsCompVids]

I promise, a "nineties plastic" level of force was used ;)

I personally don't have trouble finding CR2430 batteries but this is a cool idea. CR2032 batteries can be found in dollar stores in the US.

[@RonsCompVids]

They are basically unobtanium where I live. My only option was to order them online, pay upwards of $7 just for shipping, and wait till the end of the month for them to arrive OR have some sabots printed.
I think the sabots made for a more interesting video :)

As this video shows so well, the first two digits of a 'CR' "coin-cell" battery are the diameter, and the last two digits are the thickness.

@@RonsCompVids: But whoops, I inverted the two measurements and will need to edit now...

[@RetroTechChris]
