Quick question,
will a battery with 5mmx35mmx62mm fit well on a mintypi?

I bought everything they sold but it didn't say there will be shoulder buttons with it, I didn't know the shoulder buttons where DS Lite buttons

@Kyran and anyone else thinking of sourcing DS lite shoulder buttons...
DS Lite shoulder buttons will technically work (after all it's only a switch that clicks "on" when pressed and breaks when let go) BUT the DS Lite specific ones are absolutey TINY, and Surface mount. you'll have an absolute nightmare trying to make them work physically. you want regular 6mm x 6mm ones like this: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/tactile-switches/4791429/
you can usually get a big bag of them for a couple of bucks just searching ebay or amazon for "tact switch" or "tactile switch"

Can somebody help me to find a cheap DS Lite buttons with conductive membranes for Spain/Europe?

I would like to buy http://market.sudomod.com/ds-lite-buttons-for-mintypi/ but the 10 bucks for international shipping makes it expensive

Will you buy the 3D printed parts too? If so, i think you just have to pay the shipment once.
If not, you can buy some from china on ebay or aliexpress, you just have to search for NDSL buttons or DS lite buttons.

Black it's the easiest color to find, but you can find all other colors buying a full case set.

Thanks!

Nop, I plan to print them at home so the order would be only for the buttons.

Thank you again for the info!

For everyone looking for a European supplier for Adafruit's components and an alternative to Altoids mints take a look here:
Mints sized tin
Micro Lipo
PowerBoost 500

This is the cheapest I could find in Germany. Still looking for a place to buy the mints cheap. It appears that German's are more obsessed with Fishermen's Friends but good luck putting the components inside a bag.

Can confirm... My Hamburger* Friend is obsessed with fishermans friend...

(*to non-germans, Hamburger friend= someone from Hamburg, not a strange bastardisation of hamburger helper**)

(**to non-americans, Hamburger helper... well where do i start... Hmmm a picture maybe)

@wermy: did you consider also making a hole for the Zero's USB port? This could allow people to use the regular Pi Zero and transfer the ROMs via USB stick or to connect a WiFi dongle only when necessary. I'd rather not have the WiFi or Bluetooth running all the time.

€dith: nvm, just read that the USB will be used by the DAC.

Haha

It seems like World Of Sweets is the cheapest (German) online retailer. 5€ for shipping though.

In Germany (at least in my city) Altoids Peppermint are also available at the local Rossmann stores for 1,69 €. Just went there and bought my first ever Altoids
