I share printable designs of a few, but the threading of the conductor wires is quite challenging for most, so not broadly practical.

Instead I mostly sell them on for a couple of bucks and curse a little bit when anyone orders one.

So far I offer AA, AAA, 18650, CR2450, CR2032 and now CR1632 size too!

Tedious little things, but hey, I make about a dollar an hour when I sell a few, so I've got that going on.

Yay, today is day 20 of trying to get #Tindie to cancel an order properly 😞 (buyer has been refunded but it still says Unshipped on the seller side).

aka guess who nearly shipped a cancelled and refunded order today 🙄 .

The idea here would be to make something like this device (whose provenance is unknown to me):

Same exact idea, but it's a fixed 5v-to-3.3v carrier board, and my project calls for as high as 24 VDC.

There used to be a seller or two on #Tindie that made this exact thing available for purchase, but the sellers either delisted those options or closed up shop entirely.

Pretty sure those had an add-on option for a Pololu SMPSU too, but again they can't be found now...
