2026-09-19 (Sa) EleKSCo REV05 Model refining

I kept a short list of changes I needed to make to various models. There was insufficient clearance between the tang and the internal switch part, but it kind of worked anyway. I wanted more thread surface on the battery brakes. It would be nice to have something wrapped around the wires between the transformer and the tang. I replaced a simple cube in the battery brake model, so wherever I did not need clearance for the brake pad arm, I left plastic that I can tap. I carefully enlarged the rectangle, controlling the clearance between the tang and the internal switch. I created a hollow cylinder and chopped off part of it so it should fit nicely. I can add a sticker or something to really dress it up.

Battery, sleeve, and tang were all updated
