QCX Mini combined battery holder, stand and protector V2

Holds your QCX Mini, provides power, and you can turn the radio over to protect the screen and knobs during transport.

At your own risk: Populate the battery holder/lid with 3x 18650 cells, and there is space to safely mount a battery management board under the batteries. Just leave the wires long enough so that you can manipulate everything into place.

Use 3 x M3 countersunk machine screws to fix lid.

Print it with rafts, it makes it more reliable, and prevents curling and warping.

UPDATE: Based on feedback I created a couple of alternative lids with shorter battery tubes and slots for welding strip and also a plain lid with no battery tubes and a hole for the power socket, and a plain lid with no holes. The '19.5' file also has larger tubes, but beware the wall thickness is now .5mm so may be a little weak depending on what material and print settings you choose.

UPDATE2: Added speaker grille for RS Pro miniature speaker 756-4609, and extra hole in lid for 3.5mm jack socket. There is really space for tiny amp, but I didn't find it worthwhile to fit. The 2 files for this mod are prefaced by "SPK"
