I recently purchased a Vivitar v3800n second hand. Sadly the battery cover had split in two and no longer held in the batteries for the light meter. I've printed a replacement one for use with LR44 batteries. 

I had the original metal insert from the cover. If you don't have one -  you can easily make a replacement using a thin slice of aluminium can, that can be placed in the central gap of the cover.

There are several other posts that complain about this common flaw with the battery cover. The original is a very flimsy. I couldn't find a 3D printed one so I made it myself.

I hope this can save some people money and keep their cameras operating for years to come.
