While testing GBCs you may not want to handle batteries and concentrating on other things. This adapter makes it easy to power a GBC from a bench power supply.

The idea is to use M3 screws to mimic the battery contacts and connect them to a 3V power source. 

The battery compartment of the GBC has a bridge between cells of about 1.5mm. Similar devices may add other dimensions to the AAs' overall space requirement. You can adjust pretty much everything in the SCAD file.

I also added a simple fit test STL. With it you can dial in all the parameters before you print the real adapter.

The photos are taken from a GB Boy, a clone, that shares the battery compartment dimensions at least close enough to test the design. I also tested it with my real GBC.
