Designed and printed a 4 x AA NiMH battery tray for the Apple eMate. This lets me change the batteries out quickly because they're not soldered, welded, or wrapped together. The bottom of the tray is open so you can push the batteries out easily. The fit should be snug.

Model available here: https://www.printables.com/model/1485849-apple-emate-aa-battery-tray
