Description
I'm currently designing a 3d printed battery grip for the Panasonic GH-1.
Due to the complexity of the model,
I'm currently starting out with a highly simplified design.
This prototype only contains 2 batteries, no button, no electronics, no display, no connectors.
Not even routes for the cable. Just holes to mount tiny, 1mm thick copper plates for the battery contacts.
It is opened and closed with 3 M5 sinkhole bolts.
I want to get this prototype right before refining it into a "proper" battery grip.

Instructions
glue_on_edges is currently glued on.
The base easily aligns using 4 alignment-cones build into the design and is then fastened with 3 M5 bolts.
The center piece has 2 small support-structures on the right side that must be broken off after printing.
This is intended to be used with the Panasonic fake-battery supplied with the camera (with the GH-2 is is an optional accessory.)
I'll have to drill passages for the power cables.
It makes little sense to design passages for them that will change anyway once the electronics and connectors get added.
I may design the Manfrotto quick-release plate right into a next version of the base, so this attaches to my 3d printed DSLR shoulder rig

without an adapter plate.
