Yeah,  The .stl is spot on in size and appearance.
To combat my boredom from retirement, I did a print today using PETG (I was out 
of ABS).   I used the best setting I could find (.1 mm layer height, 100% Fill, 
supports, and brim).

The finished door looked great.  After careful removal of the supports, I tried 
it.  One of the side supports broke almost immediately.  It still holds on well 
with a single support.  

The side clips are too weak using PETG (and based on the designers comments 
PLA).   I believe I can redesign it slightly with a slightly different side 
supports/clips or as single screw to secure the lid into the case.  The screw 
could make it more difficult to change the batteries.

This is a link to the one I purchased. The plastic is rather weak and crumbly.

Was it resin printer or filament printed? Any pics? any links from where you 
bought it?
I'm positive one that could survive many many openings could be made with the 
right technique.

Hi all,
 
I am looking for a battery cover for one of my Model 100s.
I tried a 3D printed one from ThingVerse, but the tabs broke after removing it 
a couple of times…
So if anyone has one to sell please let me know.
 
Thank you
Robert
