Gameboy Color Power Switch Replacement

thingiverse

I managed to break the leg of the power switch on my Gameboy Color, and I couldn't find a replacement specifically designed for the GBC. So, I headed into Tinkercad and created this custom solution. This design replaces the plastic rail inside the switch itself that holds the metal pins in place. It may not be perfectly optimized, but getting the small pin back into the printed rail proved to be a bit of a challenge. I was attempting to do it all in one go with general-purpose glue, which might have contributed to the difficulty. Nevertheless, this makeshift fix does the job and my Gameboy Color is now working properly again.
