The file 'Spacers To Install Shido LIX30L-BS Quattro LiFePO4 Battery On The Caterham Seven 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 780.0B.

Summary

The Caterham 170 is equipped with a 12V 30Ah, 8.2kg lead-acid battery (D60-N24-A, Y60-N24-A).
I have replaced it with a Shido LIX30L-BS Quattro, a 2.0kg LiFePO4 replacement for those references.
As it is just a bit smaller in all directions, the fit was not perfect out of the box.

This "thing" is a 3 parts kit consisting of a pair of "corner" parts to be printed as presented in the STL file with supports between the heat bed an the bottom, as well as a single thin bar to be placed in front of the battery against the bottom tray.

As it's sitting in the engine compartment, PETG is preferred over PLA, as it tends to creep over time even at room temperature.
