A re-implementation of @thrasher's great idea to add AA batteries to the Minimalistic Xbox Controller Stand from @agepbiz.

When I tried to use the original version of the AA storage files, like several others in the comments I found that my rechargeable batteries didn't quite fit, even in the expanded 14.5 mm version - I'm assuming due to a combination of cheap rechargeable batteries being slightly out of spec combined with a non-quite tuned printer. There was no real reason the tolerances needed to be that tight for the batteries to stay in the base with this design, so I reworked it a bit to have 15 mm holes. Also needed to rework the original stand a bit since FreeCAD did not like working with the complicated geometry of the original stl file.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

Reworked from the original Minimalistic Xbox Controller Stand using the AA design idea from the linked remix model, but done with oversized battery slots for out of spec batteries or non-tuned printers. Also slightly reworked the original stand design to be easier to work with in FreeCAD.
