I didn't know how well a large bottom and top plate would actually fit up against the cells, so I printed out a small section. I wanted to see how stiff the plate would be and how well the cells would fit in the recesses as well. Here is what we have.

The cells fit very nicely into the bottom plate. The top plate (which is the same as the bottom plate) was a bit more difficult to get the cells to drop into place. I think I will make some tweaks and make another test with a 3x3 cell holder.
