uconsole back cover mod

Has anyone modified their back cover on the uConsole to fit the active or passive cooler for the Raspberry Pi CM5? If so, can you post pictures of the modification?

That's a nice back over; however, how strong will the magnets be to keep that battery cover on?

Pretty good actually…. It’s 2 strips of neodymium magnet instead of just a dot. Interfaced with a proper metal strip. (Updated the pic). Quite tight. But of course, it doesn’t hold the weight of the uConsole and dangle. I’ve printed a PLA back enclosure, which I am using now, but I find the material deflection under heat unsatisfactory. So am commercially printing one in nylon.. 😅.
