Yesterday I designed a longer battery tray for the H10 Optic. Its 7.5mm longer than stock, 101mm in total length. It should allow batteries that have leads on both ends to fit better (such as the Gens Ace shorties). Its also shaves off 8 grams if you print both.

I can force my battery into the stock tray but was concerned the balance lead might eventually break from bending at a sharp 90° angle.

Printed with PETG and 5 perimeters so the holes for mounting the panels can hold a thread better.
IMPORTANT TIP: DO NOT allow support to print in any of the holes especially the holes for mounting the panels. Its such a small hole that the support doesnt just pop loose, I found that I had to drill it out and after that the hole locations had moved enough for the panels to not line up anymore.
You may need to use a 5mm or 13/64" drill bit to clean up the holes for the body pins (the plastic rod).
