I have uploaded the STL file for a quick and simple to use battery connector. You will need a set of standard breadboard leads ( the ones with the square ends, about 1.6mm square ) which you will use as the pins.

Cut a long lead in half ( or remove the cable from the pin connector ) and thread the lead up through the connector. Seat the square pin holder into the square holes provided on the bottom.. you should be able to press fit them.

For the + and - connectors, use nails that are slightly under 2mm in diameter and at least 30mm long. Epoxy or superglue them into place.

Print settings that worked for me are:

200 micron layers
25% infill ( grid infill is fine )
