So for the GBZ project here are the ones I've thought about or had suggested:
- Screw post bracket (no epoxying the old screw posts or anything, woo!)
- Button wells (the raised rim around where the original buttons sit)
I have an idea for that first one... Hard to describe it though. I'll play around with it this weekend and see if it works. If it does then I'll post some pictures - you wouldn't need screws at all.Ganreizu wrote:Reposting from screw post thread:
How about a latch for the top side of the outside or inside of the case? My screen board and some others doesn't allow us to have a bracket like this because the board is so big so we need to figure a way to keep the top part of the case secure without it. Was gonna get a small door hinge or something to unlatch if i want to take the case apart but some 3D printed black plastic made specifically for the job would be perrrfect.
Other ideas:
Cartridge cases? (especially red and blue like the pokemon cartridge cases...don't want to tear those apart for selfish reasons)
Oooooo okay. It was hard to describe what i wanted to do also so good that you thought of something. Not needing screws makes it really out of nowhere. o.O I was expecting to use epoxy or glue in the first place though hahawermy wrote:I have an idea for that first one... Hard to describe it though.

For the cartridge cases, kitsch-bent sells them! I think I'd much rather use a nice smooth factory-made one. But yes thingiverse has several models for GB cartridges, if you were so inclined. http://www.thingiverse.com/search?q=gam ... tridge&sa=
well, ok I'll try and describe what I'm thinking: a few sort of hook-like things on the front side of the case across the top, and a few notches on the bottom half for them to hook into. So you would sort of hook the top part in and close it, then put the bottom screws in on the back. Does that make sense?Ganreizu wrote: Oooooo okay.

Kitsch-bent's are clear only but i'll hit him up and ask him for red and blue cartridge colors! There has to be serious demand for those...
Yeah i think i know exactly what you have in mind. I had basically the same thought on how the least conspicuous way to make hooks on the inside of the case like what chiz did with his build or similar to how the battery case hooks in but i didn't know how to make something like that from scratch and have it be effective. 3D printing would definitely make it a cake walk!wermy wrote:well, ok I'll try and describe what I'm thinking: a few sort of hook-like things on the front side of the case across the top, and a few notches on the bottom half for them to hook into.

I'll see what I can do.Ganreizu wrote: Yeah i think i know exactly what you have in mind.

So there's a little square glued onto the front half that fits in the notch on the back half. It's better to make it NOT fit at first, then trim one side or the other so it has a nice tight fit.
