Yamaha PSR-6 Keyboard Battery Cover

This is a battery compartment cover for a Yamaha PortaTone PSR-6 keyboard. I could not find a suitable 3D model for this so, using my Yamaha PSS-130 battery cover design as a starting point, I got out my calipers, took a bunch of measurements, and designed this one. It took several iterations, but I now have a design that works reliably.

Note that the latch on this cover doesn't automatically latch when it is pushed closed. Securing it requires pushing down on the latch to snap it into place.

This may work with other Yamaha keyboards that use D-size batteries. Its primary dimensions are 94.8 mm x 43.75 mm.

This was printed using Creality PETG filament with standard settings using my QIDI Tech Q1 Pro. Organic supports and 15% rectilinear infill settings were used. While it is tempting to print this laying flat on the bed, the latch strength will be dependent on layer adhesion and will easily break (in my experience). For this reason, print it on its edge for the best results.
