Game Boy DMG-01 Button Well and Screw Bracket

thingiverse

Mod for Nintendo Game Boy model DMG-01 includes button well for adding X and Y buttons, and a screw mounting bracket to replace top two screw posts when adding custom screen. Both parts are designed to be glued in place. I printed these in ABS on my Makerbot clone with 100% infill, 0.2mm layer height, heated bed, with or without raft, and no supports needed. Watch video of whole project here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhU7yyCuPO4 To install button wells, sand bottom surface a little bit with fine-grit sandpaper if not quite flat. Don't sand too much material away. Align well over drill hole using one of the buttons with paper or tape wrapped around it to make fit snugly in hole, then apply glue around outside of well. Once rubber membrane is placed over it, snip off small post to only slightly protrude from top of membrane. Careful sanding may be necessary on inner surface of well and drill hole to give button a nice smooth surface to slide against. To install screw bracket, screw bracket into back shell of DMG-01 case, apply glue to it, then press whole case together so that bracket gets glued in correct position and orientation (consult photos). Once glue hardens, unscrew it, separate case shells, and apply more glue.
