Wow! Is it possible to obtain battery doors without the screw moulding? I find the protrusion quite unpleasant and, so far, it is my only dislike in the 15c CE. Alternatively, has anyone had success shaving down the protrusion on the door, or filing/grinding it down, or cutting it off by use of some other tool? Of course I worry about the interior pigmentation of the plastic having an unsightly appearance.

Hi, we designed a 3D-printed version that has a tighter fit than the screwed one:

Voyager cover without screw



Maybe you'll need it for more reasons than resetting it...

EDIT: as you may have noticed, the machine’s serial number is that of a prototype. It has been running with the original batteries for 14 months as my “to go” calculator, and I swapped them yesterday for the first time. Much better power consumption than the LE, although nothing can compete with the original voyagers.
