DIY Button Wells with no 3D Printer!!

Post by doomer170 » Wed Feb 10, 2021 5:23 pm

I've made a discovery! I am about 3/4 finished with my first gameboy zero, and I have realized that I don't have a 3D printer or any access to one.. What was I going to do about my X and Y Buttons? I started digging around one of my junk totes and found an old original Xbox S controller that I knew I wasn't going to be using any more, so I opened it up and started cutting away with my dremel tool. I should mention that I bought a button set from retromodding.com as well. Anyway, What I discovered is the actual buttons inside the xbox controller make a near perfect button well for a gameboy zero! I just cut the top off the xbox buttons and hollowed them out.

Materials Needed for mod:

-Original Xbox "S" controller
-Dremel tool
-Super Glue or Hot Glue
