5mm LED Flashlight - two AG5 batteries by phrogg111

I would like to start by saying that I haven't printed this yet.
All you need is a 5mm LED and two AG5 batteries. I got a 10 pack of batteries for like $1.50 shipped from China off of Ebay, and a 100 pack of LEDs for the same price.
Longer LED lead goes to positive, shorter to negative.
I designed this in a school library using Rhinoceros 4 because one of my college classes got cancelled. I haven't printed it yet. The two AG5 batteries and LED definitely work together as a flashlight, but I haven't checked how accurate the print here will be.
I picked AG5 because they're the smallest batteries I've tried that will drive a white LED. In theory, if you duct tape one of these to the end of a string, you could make poi. The batteries/LED design should be able to get more than four hours of light, but possibly closer to ten.
Requests for other batteries people want to use would be pretty cool, too.
Anyone who prints this and wants me to redesign it, contact me! I'd be happy to!
