So after seeing some other projects I was inspired and thought it would be fun to just see if I could design a Gameboy Zero case that could be printed at home. The goal is not to go full blown commercial with this but just simply see if I can get something that would fit the project most of us have been working on with decent quality.
The objective and requirements are:
- * Need Helders and Kites board to fit
* To be used with the 3.5 BW Screen
* Be able to be printed at home with a decent quality
* Not a one to one of the original Gameboy case but close enough to keep the form factor
So after spending an afternoon playing with this, here is what I have so far:

This case is meant to be printed face down to obtain a smooth finish, especially if printed on glass. All edges are chamfered at 45 degrees to maintain 3D printer integrity and quality. The screen cover is designed to be place inside instead of the normal outside. The reason for this is it gives the front a smooth finish without having to use supports on the print. My thinking on the speaker grill is that inside the case a breathable mesh can be inserted inside to conceal the speaker.

Here you can see how the screen cover fits. Its 1mm deep like the original screen cover. It would sit flush and the BW screen will go on top. I also re-enforced the screw post to give strength to the 3D print.
Will give the print a go on my printer when I finish the top half and will update the post with pictures. Still much to go. As the title says, its a work in progress
