I made this DMG last week, original shell and buttons. I just hand polished the buttons a bit to remove the scratches

Idk I've had a change of heart recently I am really liking OEM Game Boy shells. An old shell with new internals is peak

I've been looking for a Pink pocket that had no discolouration, and I got one PLUS a Hello Kitty one that isn't too bad

Okay last spam message, I have been looking into making my own thinkpad nipple with aftermarket parts. I was going to use a N3DS C stick but they aren't as easy to find as I thought they would be

yes this is AI slop, but I think I am going to actually make one because I yearn for pretty power tools

I am working with my friend, RandomPrintCo, to make a board for it with the GBC and his stereo 3D Printed shell

I also refurbished an original screen for it. It's prettttty. I think I'll take some nice photos and then retire it to my display

I have been able to keep the original Lego power switch mechanism by changing only a few tiny things. I'm super happy with v0.4.2 of the housing. It might be PCB order time

It's not perfect, but I did a small amount of polishing on this PSP 3000 shell and it looks good

Added the USB C PCB edge connector to the DSPico cart to replace the micro USB port. I'll see how it goes and then fork it.

Sales are slow so dumb dumb (me) started a new project. Very early days since I am not the greatest at cad when it starts getting intricate
