Eggbowl's first CSL Build with custom LR buttons
Posted: Thu Jun 25, 2020 10:57 am
Hi all, decided it was finally time to share my csl build. It's not 100% done, but more on that later.
It's a pretty standard csl build with gray case and snes multicolor buttons. The two things that make it different are the screen protector and the LR buttons.
For the screen, I didn't like how the bottom right corner was cut off, so I decided to have an even cut all around. (Thanks to Gambino for help cutting the case.) I planned on making a custom acrylic screen lens with a laser cutter, but corona got in my way . My access to soldering equipment and laser cutter is restricted to my school, but since that's closed down idk how long it will be until I can go back. I looked into online laser cutting services but they're way too expensive for my liking. The other thing, is these custom LR buttons I've made. I designed them in fusion 360, and printed the holders with my mk3s. The buttons were printed on my school's form3 printer. I'm really happy with how they turned out. They feel and look great, and are totally flush with the case. To get the r button working took some work around. I had to remove the terminal and then scratch off the solder mask and solder to the trace. It took me a few tries lol. I also made my own cartridge label.
