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