No axe to grind at all, but I'd heard that in China the do the battery swap thing already. Don't know if that's true

Nice touch including the storage place. 3 hours - how much did they pay for it?

Hooks instead?

If you've a wood lathe, hot glue the perspex to a scrap wood faceplate, Mark your 37mm circle, then use a sharp parting tool or skew to cut the hole. It works well.
