Created a T1 Charging Base

General Discussion
1

If you have a 3D printer and want a charging base, I modeled one up and put it on Printables - Reekon T1 Tape Measure Charger Base by menerso | Download free STL model | Printables.com

You can tweak the model if you want at OnShape (free accounts available) - Onshape

Since my battery dies so quickly and the only option that support gave me was to take out my battery every time I don’t use it (which seems dumb for a $250 tool), I made something where I can drop it in the base when not using so that it keeps charged.

Very nice. Now I have to find someone with a 3D printer or purchase one.
I wish I could charge the extra batteries that I purchased separately.

I know. I just wish the battery didn’t die soo quick. It is not the batteries fault either.

This is flat out unreasonable for such an expensive tool to have a parasitic drain like this. They should address this and do a recall since it clearly is a physical issue and not software related else they would have fixed it by now.

Hi Brian, this was fixed a few version ago in firmware - you can download 0.6.15 or newer which has the fix on it!
