I also did this for the front of the shell too for the holes for the light pips for power/charging LED’s. I included enough of the reference points to line it up with the rest of the case but it was a fraction of the time to print. For example I needed to test the fit of the back part of the case, I was hard to measure so I just eye balled it. I also like to test part of a design out I’ll “cut” that part from the rest of the design. Its super boxy but I’m testing the over all size here as well. As you can see the prints are starting to take longer so you need to included as much detail as you can.
I also took a stab at the button layout while I was at it. Once I had these mapped out I could start on the screen hole and screen surround. I started by mapping out the screw posts, I measured them out the best I could then I printed just the screw posts with a brim on the base of them, This way so I could compare it to the PCB and rear of the case. It does follow the basic design and layout of the released unit. Also I couldn’t at first find a photo of the base of the beta unit but I ended up finding one and its quite different including the L and R buttons. I decided to keep the original rear shell of the DS phat because that part doesn’t really take away from the new face plate and saves me a TON of work. Join me below to see how I pulled it off. This is probability the most complex thing I have ever designed. Before the Original DS was released they were showing off a different design then what they ended up releasing, Ive always thought that the original design was so much better.
#Gameboy macro 3d print mods#
The white and purple/teal faceplates you used for your Macro mods look perfectly fine to me: how much would you charge if you were to print a couple of them for me? One can be all black and the other all pink, or you can suggest me any other color schemes that might fit depending on what you have in stock.I’ve been making a few Gameboy Marco and I have seen a few different 3d printed face plates for the DS Lite but non for the DS Phat. I was browsing through Thingiverse earlier today but I don't have a 3D printer and I have no idea how much it would cost me to go through a service provider. I like Boxypixel's faceplates but they are ridiculously expensive to me, especially after adding the shipping and customs' fees. :) So I'm looking for an affordable faceplate which can hold a Switch speaker connected to Helder's amp and resistance mod.
#Gameboy macro 3d print how to#
I'm planning to transform these two consoles to Game Boy Macros because I want to learn how to solder (I have a friend who has all the material and who can teach me) and I want to play to GBA games.
I also have a pink console which is disassembled, it seems to be complete but I don't know if it works at all. I have a black console which boots up but the top screen doesn't work and the d-pad is a bit capricious. I was basically given a couple of DS Lite consoles as well as a few additional shells and spare parts.
