Logic board Mac PRAM battery container for compact Macs and beyond. .2mm PETG no supports - I used a 6 loop skirt .1mm from the model. After printing, I  added 2 lengths of solder leads leftover from capacitor recapping - a paper clip might work if you filed down the shafts at the point where they enter the logic board.  Stick the leads through the compartment hole at each end, bend up at the positive end to be sure the anode reaches the pin: down is fine at the negative end.   Add a touch of hot glue to each pin to hold in place as you solder - be SURE of the polarity. The original containers had a bottom and a cap.   My design is one piece - snap the battery in at the angle, shown, and Bob's your uncle!
