Game Boy Color Backlight Mod Spacers (Freckleshack/McWill)

thingiverse

FS_Spacers work on any Freckleshack style screen without relying on the PCB to locate the LCD within the shell. This includes Freckleshack and the new backlight kit from China with touch sensor backlight control, which does not use the PCB for locating the LCD. McWill_Spacers are designed to help locate the screen within the shell, especially useful when the PCB is not doing its job properly. In my case, it was slightly crooked, so McWill_Spacers helped a bit, but I would have liked more assistance. The MidWest Embedded kit relies on the cutout you need to make in the bezel for location. I'd love to hear how these spacers work out for you. Keep in mind that they are slightly undersized due to my printer's limitations and actual gaps of 3.6mm and 6.1mm compared to the spacers' dimensions of 3.5mm and 6mm respectively. If you don't have a 3D printer, download the zip file I attached (PCB gerbers) and use a service like oshpark to get some spacers that way.
