Have you lost or damaged your Eflite Timber battery hatch? Disappointed that it is not always available? Does the $15 replacement cost make you choke? Then try this 3D printed hatch.
Suit yourself on strength vs weight. I used a .4mm nozzle, .2mm layer height, 2 perimeter walls, three top layers, three bottom layers, 5% Gyroid infill and came up with a hatch weight of 24 grams including the latching tabs which I printed at 100% infill. My hatch is plenty strong, so no need to go with more material than I used, but you might wish to try printing a lighter version, perhaps with only two top and bottom layers and/or a little less fill.
You might have to do a bit of sanding and fitting of the forward tab and/or latch tab. Glue them in place using CA adhesive.
I printed the hatch bottom side down. The latch tab is printed on edge, and the forward tab is printed with the aft edge down. No bed adhesion help is required for the hatch, but you might want to use a brim for the small
