I purchased this regulated 3V 2A power supply: https://evandesigns.com/products/3-volt-adapter-transformer?variant=6807227990064 . I also purchased the matching screw thread mount from the same vendor here: https://evandesigns.com/products/power-jack-added-switches?variant=40814292434992
I also purchased the same battery connectors that were suggested by the original author, but just removed the springs using a plyer. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DSNM1Z5
I also purchased these wire connectors to make it easy to add/remove the components. Note this is optional and probably not needed. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YKHV46N
If you do use the wire connectors, I would recommend some heat shrink tubing at the wire connection points. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WWWPR2X
I soldered everything together as shown in the pictures. I also slightly bent the battery connectors after removing the springs so that it would be a tighter fit in the 3d printed battery case. I also had to drill a hole through the flume 2 plastic case for the screw thread mount.
The original battery, new, read 3.486V on my multi-meter. The wired battery that I created read 3.018V on my multi-meter. Over time, a battery would read lower voltage as the battery is used. If you look at the battery meter in the Flume app, it shows only 2 bars as shown in my pictures. I suspect that the device doesn't have logic about being wired to an outlet and just sees this lower voltage as a battery being partially drained.
Note that doing this will likely void your warranty and I don't take any responsibility for any damage you do to your own device. However, the advantage is that you will get a no-maintenance device. I'm a bit disappointed that Flume doesn't offer an indoor version that can be plugged into a wall outlet, but I suspect that the constant need to purchase batteries from them is part of their operating model.
