Game Boy Zero Case by Neolith on Sudomod

FROM NEOLITH on Sudomod Link: https://sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=3729 Hi everyone - I am not actually sure where to post this, but I hope this subforum is okay. A couple of weeks ago I figured it would be fun to try my hand at CAD software. While I use 3D software almost daily I never really had a try at creating models for 3D printing or CNC. So to learn a software and to wrap my head around some of the concepts used in CAD I fooled around and created an almost complete model of a classic Game Boy case and while at it made it a Game Boy Zero. The thing is – now that I am pretty much finished I have little use for it. I don't have a 3D printer and I haven't planned on creating an actual model from it for myself. So I figured maybe someone else might have use for it. The measurements for this model have been taken from an original classic Game Boy DMG and I did my best to reproduce it as accurately as possible. Most parts should be placed correctly (that is down to a fifth of a mm) as long as they are possible to measure without destroying the case I used. However there is still a margin of error due to me making mistakes or parts being so inaccessible that I couldn't get a clear measurement and simply had to guess. Also the model is not fully finished in and around the battery slot. This is because I still haven't built my first GBZ and was not quite sure which parts of it I would want to remove. On top of this right now the three parts of the model fit each other tightly in the software without even the slightest space in between. I do not have any experience in working on a usable model so that might turn out to be a small problem. Furthermore I have not been able to actually test the model. As I mentioned I do not have access to a 3D printer. The GBZ features so far include holes and mounting for additional buttons, large screen cutout and removal of the affected counterbores and the cutout for the USB needed for kite's SAIO board.
