A small project of mine to increase the battery life and comfort of the SP.

When upgrading the SP to an IPS screen the battery life takes a noticeable hit as it only lasts between 2.5 to 4.5 hours depending on screen brightness.

Having room to upgrade to a 3DS XL battery can give you double the battery life and I find the extra thickness to be a lot more comfortable.

Micro USB charging without molesting the case is also a bonus.

I've attached the STL files for anyone that wants to try it out. It should easily slot into the screw guides on the SP and grip enough that it shouldn't fall off even when shaking it, there is an area along the front to place mounting tape if you feel like it needs to be secured better. SP shells vary ever so slightly between each other so I tried to find a sweet spot where it'll grip well enough on most cases. I find PLA and PETG are best for mounting accuracy.

Thanks to @Doom and @BocuD for doing test prints and fits for me.
