These MrLights used to be very popular many years ago. They're pretty strong and reliable compared to what is offered today. Only the bottom battery cap was its weakest point. The thin wall on the back side cracks and the spring inside pushes the cap out, sometimes breaking the tabs on the light itself. For me, I taped the bottom and used it for over a decade. Yesterday for fun I made a bottom cap out of spare ABS and it worked so well I decided to make it nice looking and share it here. I've owned my MrLight for a REALLY long time and it functions amazingly like new today.
I uploaded two battery cap models:
One cap is a direct replacement to the original. (MrLightFix.STL)
The other is a replacement if your tabs are broken.(MrLightFixBrknTabs.STL)
The broken tabs version slots in like normal, but gets tighter as you rotate it instead of just locking in. So slot it in with the battery icon face to the left. Then rotate it in the direction of the arrows and it'll line up and be
