Hello people of the sudo forums.
Unfortunately i didnt take pictures of the whole process of me building the little mintyPi but i do have a few photos of it before i put everything together and finally finished.
In my country we dont have Altoids or any mints in tin boxes this size so i after searching for days i found just one Barkleys mint box in some small random kiosk. The mints were expired but the little box was in great condition and personaly i think it looks great. I wasnt sure about the size but i bought it anyway. I used all the parts from Wermy and Helder and they work like a charm (plastics,pcb,lcd e.t.c). I have a few small issues with the fitment of the screen faceplate as it didnt fit no matter how i positioned it, so i trimmed it a little bit and it fit just right (im guessing its because its not an altoids tin). I even managed to use the DS Lite power button and im super happy with how it turned out.
This little project was amazing and the build process was super fun!
Im definitely thinking of building another one but custom since you can get these tins without the prints on them (plain) ill have to find someone who has a 3d printer and source some buttons in multible colors.
Hope you guys like it.
First MintyPi build. Super awesome little thing!

Re: First MintyPi build. Super awesome little thing!
C'mon, who are you fooling? This wasn't your first project. (sarcasm) I just looked at your soldering closely and it looks really good! You even soldered your L and R wires in the proper position so they wouldn't rip off the board when / if you have to re-open the tin. This was a proper job and you should feel really proud of this build. Congrats again!

I was just very carefull. When i work on something i want it to be as clean as possible. I dont really have any experience with electronics since i mostly work on motorcycles so this was totaly new for me. This little project really got me interested in all sorts of new things. Im super proud of this one and im defo making something new in the near future so ill be around for a little while. Lol. im glad you aprove, i take that as a big compliment since im new at this.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Looks great. The ds slide switch is a nice touch!
