So i had a few bits left over so started building a secind gameboy.
unfortunalty the case i had from a long time a go i removed the lower part of the battery holder completly, so because of this i no longer have anything on the back of the case for me the screw through to attach the two halves together.
so i can make a screw bracket for the top half like wermy did in his first build but how can i keep the lower half of the case sealed?
any ideas would be great

Re: ideas on keeping a gameboy case sealed.
when my main plan was to use a SGSIII battery, I was going to completely remove the battery bay, including the support posts, but I was going to design a replacement battery bay specifically for the SGSIII battery but with a replacement screw post that could be 3D printed and glued (or acetone welded) in place.
I still might revisit this idea, but depending on what you have there, you could do the same...

Re: ideas on keeping a gameboy case sealed.
i saw this project on thingverse awhile back... may not be completely ideal, but may be workable... the modder completely removed the battery compartment and made their own custom 3d printed part to house the lipo battery....
