Arca-swiss baseplate or L-bracket GRIII/x

Is there any Arca-swiss compatible baseplate or L-bracket for the GR III / x -camera available that gives the option to change batteries without demounting it all?
I found only the wephoto grip, but i don't want a grip on this camera and then an 3d print version, but i don't like a plastic one.
That being said, is it the only option to have it 3d printed and then manufacture a copy out of a block of aluminium?
 
I bought a small Arca-swiss compatible plate and then filed down one end so that the plate clears the battery door. I have done it in the past for some of my other cameras, too. I also had to modify an L bracket for my Canon EOS RP so that the flip out screen cleared the L bracket. A few minutes with the files and it was perfect.
 
I just got a plate out of my spare parts drawer. The plate came with a tripod. I cut off the end by the battery door. The final plate shape was more square than rectangular, but it still fits into the tripod head clamping mechanism.
