Perhaps he could do one in the style of an SXK Zero?

This project is ending up being epic but I'm spending most of the time learning new assembly skills in Fusion 360, most of it is done, just working on the battery mount.

@Vapaneezer Scrooge thinking about the same. There are 2 options that I found sound. First is to make the battery compartment about 4 mm taller than the battery, then glue battery contacts to it. Flat ones like it the pic are much nicer than spring like ones.
Second option is to use springy battery department. Sound odd but found a few on thingiverse. Check the second pic. Just needs a contact but it's springy on its own and should last a long time if printed with filament that is a little bit flexible like PETG. Just search thingiverse for flexing battery holder. Hope it helps...

I've ended up using a Capstone sled and making a base plate to mount it onto, I did have some clips as you shown but I had access mounting issues with the wiring and firmness of the contacts, after a couple of test pieces I resorted back to a sled.

Printed a shell assembly in draft resolution, quite pleased with it so far.

I've been playing with this design in CAD, piss easy to model it but the custom metal top & bottom plates & hinged switch are out of my capabilities, I could do a larger squonk version using donor parts from a Pulse mech.

@Vapaneezer Scrooge those are good option. Completely forgot about those and have about 20 can you take some pictures with a mod battery compartment open?
