Where can I find cheap extended battery door ?

I'm amazed how expensive extended battery doors cost !? At least £20 !? Where can I find a cheaper alternative ?

One of the forum users (D3weyAXD) has a shop with 3D printed parts, one of which is a battery door. He's posted about it many times.

Unfortunately Dewey doesn't have any extended doors for the P1, just custom replacement doors for the P2 (for those who run standard LiPo's). There are several others on shapeways that do, but they're all about in the same price range as the ones you've seen...the price is just due to what it still costs to print 3D parts on demand. Your other option is to just look for them on ebay (search "Phantom extended battery door"), sometimes they're on there for a little bit less but not by much.
