2026-09-16 (W) EleKSCo REV05 Battery plug model start

Instead of modifying the existing battery holder, I made a new module that started with the existing model and added a new module that rendered a plug behind it. The revised version also subtracted a circular hole between the two that I will tap and add a machine screw. The hole must go all the way through so I can easily tap it with ordinary tooling. The battery model had an error where a cube intercepted the back and cut away some of the plastic. It was not harming anything, but it was not supposed to extend that far, so I shortened it. I added a long hexagon to the back to cover the machine screw and extend it out the back, plus a short transition between the round battery chamber and the six-sided portion. The hexagon had rounded corners like the previous plug, so it should not snag on anything. I added a cutaway view at the bottom to see the tappable portion near the battery chamber and the wider area where I can slide the bolt in. I will model the braking mechanism next.
