Underneath my Oly EM5ii is the battery compartment, whose flap locks (or used to) with a tiny plastic lever - which has now broken. Any ideas on repairing this component?

I used to have an EM5ii, the battery doors failing are a common problem.

Luton Cameras will be able to get you a new one, it's one of the few parts you can get after the split from  Olympus.

Thanks Luca. I’m not familiar with 3D printing, but it looks like a great idea.

Thanks. Sadly their website says they have no more OM E system battery covers left.

There are battery doors on Ebay from a Chinese supplier, oeso.tech - anyone used them?

Worth giving them a ring, they said they had started to be able to get some parts direct from China since OM cut off their supplies from the Portugal based repair place. As you noticed,  there's several online suppliers. God knows what they're like though.
