Cibola/Vaquero battery door cad file

[kac]

I recently rebuilt a Cibola that was missing a battery door. Made one and printed on my 3d printer. I am posting a link to my OneDrive for the cad files and an STL for those who need a battery door. I suggest using FDM or SLS type printing and ABS is fine for a material. One I printed is from an SLA which is resin based, though it does the job, sla, dlp resin based printed parts are not as durable.

The door must seem to be an issue with the Cibola, since Rusty sent mine back with a spare, which I have never needed, yet…!
Love the machine…!

9v seems a little tight, might be why some doors pop. Think it's the spring contacts that are causing the problem.

yes, 9v battery sizes are all over the place, seems rechargeables are on the large size too....

I noticed that, I have some 9v lithium ions that don't quite fit.
