    [Q] DIY Battery holder for nikon F5 -- has anybody done it ?

    I just updated the model with the two pins and printed and tested if it fitted ok. It seems to fit exactly where it's supposed to. I still have a few photos in my roll, so I will have to finish it and build a new pack in the meanwhile before I can test it. Thanks for your feedback.

    Hey! glad you like it. My current design is only for li-ion cells. As @reddesert commented it is hard to design them without having the original in first place, specially if you are trying to modernize it with different batteries. Currently I have an MS-30 battery holder so I could try to make...
