We've got a Roku4 player in our bedroom, and about the first week we had it, the remote got dropped and broke the little tab off that holds the battery cover on. As I was heading out to the shop I saw it laying there, so grabbed the old cover and took it with me.
I had planned to measure and draw up a new one to print out on the 3d printer. I got up to the shop and did a quick search, and sure enough, someone had already done the work for me. I was getting ready to print out some other parts, so went ahead and put the battery cover on the table as well to do a test print and see how it works. An hour and a half later...
I didn't quite get a support under the front edge of the little tab, so I had to do a little filing there and use the 3d pen to add a little extra something to file down, but works great. I'll be redoing the support and reprinting (at a higher resolution), maybe in glow-in-the-dark filament since my wife uses that remote often with the lights off.
