Hey there! Long time no post. My IBM 5162 is nearly complete, even found a real 5154 monitor! Now just need to figure out why it doesn't work :p
Anyway, back to that little battery holder. I just got an idea. Could a new one be 3D printed? And more importantly, can I find someone to do it for me? This is the guy in question:

I am assuming that is not a picture of yours? What's the issue? Is it totally missing? Full dimensions off all sides would be needed to even try to design one for 3d printing.
 
Correct. Mine us an empty hole. Guess I didn't mention that, was hoping someone who had one could chime in.
What I can tell you though is the hole is about 59x22mm, with the center of the screw hole being about 5.5mm from the top edge of the square hole. At least that's what my Harbor Freight verniers say with a dead battery. Obviously it would need to accommodate a BR-P2 battery, as shown above.
