Case for Inside Gadgets Wireless Gameboy Controller Receiver

thingiverse

These covers are designed for use with the fantastic Wireless Gameboy Controller device by Inside Gadgets. The biggest drawback of the device is that the receiver is simply a PCB attached to a plug adapter cable, with heat shrink covering it. Perfectly functional, but a bit unsightly. This solution should fix that. https://shop.insidegadgets.com/product/wireless-gameboy-controller/ There are two cosmetic options - one with a GBA icon engraved on the case, and one with a GB icon. There are also two functional options - thick and thin. For either version, you'll need to trim off the excess heat shrink from the ends of the device. The thin option is slimmer, but requires a little modification of the receiver. You'll need to cut off the zip tie "knot" from the bottom of the device. Since we're removing the strain relief provided by the zip tie, the case itself is designed to clamp down tight on the cable to provide strain relief. I've only been able to test this on one unit with a SNES plug, so it's possible that different receiver types will have different cable thicknesses. If yours doesn't clamp down nicely and tightly on the cable, try placing a small piece of electrical tape into the cable channel or around the cable where it clamps in. This requires 3x M3x8mm screws and nuts. The thicker option is about 5mm thicker due to the zip tie knot, but will fit on the receiver without any additional modification. There is no strain relief on this version, since we're not removing the zip tie. This requires 2x M3x10 screws and nuts.
