    Nice idea. Now make the batteries replaceable in things like shavers, and stop making the replacement foils the printer ink of the personal grooming consumables world. For those that don’t know, you can buy a battery operated shaver for say $60 and the replacement foil and cutter will cost $30-40. Half the cost of a new shaver for a small bit of plastic and metal.

      They were replaceable in the old Norelco shavers. It required soldering. If you’re 3D printing then soldering is on the same level of technical skill. There’s even a solder bridge to disconnect the battery.

      Dude, Just buy a a Wahl clipper set and avoid that headache.

      Mine has a big beefy wall-plug one, and one that runs off two AA batteries. Also sturdy as fuck and I’ve abused and misused the damn thing for like 15 years and they are both still going strong.

      My braun has a replaceable battery, it’s a li-ion 14500 (AA size but 3.7V), they’re a couple bucks.
