I started with the spade connectors at the top. But if you’re moving a lot of current over a long time, these small wires might burn up. In addition to the 3D printed pieces, you’ll need 4 machine screws and nuts, blue spade terminals, some short lengths of wire, some CA glue, and the spring from a retractable pen.įor what it’s worth, I probably should have used a thicker gauge of wire than the stranded hookup wire here, but it got the job the done. I printed these up using standard PLA filament, and the settings called out in the guide. There’s the top, the base, and the clip-which you need to print two of. With this adapter, I can run my Ryobi tools off Dewalt’s 20v batteries, which are close enough in voltage that it hasn’t caused any problems for me yet.įrom the project page on Thingiverse you can download the three parts you need to make this. I love these, but it stinks to have a whole separate system of batteries I need to buy and charge. Ryobi doesn’t make a lot of great tools, but they do make a few useful ones that no one else makes - like this cordless glue gun, and this portable air pump. You can find links to everything I’m talking about in the description, but for this video, I’m going to walk you through what it’s like to build one for yourself. I’ve built it and it works, but it’s not a slam dunk, especially since there’s a legit $20 adapter that does the same thing. This is an adapter that allows you to plug 20v Dewalt tool batteries into 18v Ryobi tools. Hey, I’m Donald Bell for Maker Project Lab, and in this video I’m going to go over a project by Jay Rugland. They also make a Milwaukee-to-Ryobi adapter (Amazon Associate link): Similar Dewalt 18 volt to Dewalt Lithium Ion 20 Volt Adapter, but w/ Battery Monitor Blue Spade Terminals (Amazon Associate link):
