2017/11/18 Since I've used other people designs as a base for my own design it is just fare that I share this ones. They still need minor adjustments. Specially the size of the HDMI port in the guide. But this are the ones I printed.
For the screen, there is no space for the PCB, it needs to be soldered directly to the cable.
If anyone decides to test it please share any improvement you may come up.

2017/11/18 As a warning I have not tested the hinge and arm together with the rest, so not sure if it is working properly.

2017/11/18 VeteranGamer sadly I did not find those during my search so my option was to use this conductive film keypad for PS4 controller, cut it and used VHB tape to put it in place. Not the exact size for the buttons but I already tested the buttons and they are working.

Conductive film keypad https://www.ebay.com/itm/Conductive-Fil ... SwJ~RZr74b
that looks good as well, as long as it works that's the main thing.....

I might even try using that in a Game Boy Color build I'm working on for my daughter....
I'm using the original PCB, so it might be a good option for adding the X & Y buttons...

your build is coming along nicely, really like the progress your making (thumbs up)

I'm still using the DS buttons and this was probably an error. It would be easier to adjust the 3D print to the PS controller buttons, even if it takes more space.
But it is working so for now I'll leave it as it is.
Nevertheless thanks for showing me those pads.

2017/12/01 The screen is finally working and connected to the Pi. Not an easy task to solder it for a starter like me. Made a mistake in the first screen so had to wait for a second one.

2017/12/05 Sound card attached to the USB HUB is also working but I think I need to connect the power directly to the Lipo Charger and not to the USB port. If I connect both sound card and keyboard at the same time there is no sound but the sound card seems to be connected using command lsusb. If I connect the keyboard after turning the Pi on with the sound card then everything works fine. The stereo jack also works perfectly. Tested it with a game and with the command speaker-test -c2 hw:Set,0 to be sure left and right were correctly connected.

Another delay. I've damaged the buttons film presented before with the soldering iron. Again not an easy option for a starter. I think I'll replace this option with copper tape.
Next step buttons and joystick.
