All my mics had chewed up battery covers - so rather buy new ones, I modelled and printed some instead.
I made them two part, as to get a better finish on the recessed cross / screwdriver slot. They're a friction fit, and just push together. If you want to print some for your mics (obviously I can only say they fit my mics, and they're all mitutoyo but of varying vintages) the files are on thingiverse here:

For the curious - major diameter is 17.6mm, 4.85mm high and it's an M15x1 thread.

Mitutoyo Micrometer Battery Cover by GreatOldOne
Replacement Mitutoyo micrometer battery cover. All of my digital micrometers where purchased second hand of eBay, and they all had chewed up covers to their battery compartments. This is modelled after what I believe is the most recent version of the actual Mitutoyo part. Dimensions are 17.6mm...
