God forbid you have stuff sliding around as you try to assemble it all. The membranes also have the same style of alignment that the DS Lite shell has. First off, the buttons have slots (grooves) for proper alignment. Speaking of buttons, I now want to talk about how well everything fits into the faceplate. And in fact, you do less as there are less buttons to have to worry about!
You don’t have to do something different than you would if you placing a normal DS Lite faceplate on. We don’t have much to say here, but I wanted to make sure we gave credit where credit is due.
#Nds gameboy macro shell how to#
We’ll have a video covering how to combine the faceplate with the rest of the Macro. The installation of the faceplate is incredibly easy. Kudos goes to the author of the 3D print. Those of you who game outside will still see the battery light color just fine. Does it shine plenty even in bright sunlight, yes. With the thinner plastic, you now have a scenario where the light shines through. At the bottom of the post, where it connects to the faceplate, is where the plastic is thinner. And the light is focused through that post. Exactly where the light needs to shine through, there is a small post (it looks similar to a screw post). The faceplate actually looks like it’s equal thickness across the top that that light would not shine through. If you’re looking at the faceplate below, you’ll notice that there is no light pipe. The only light that it shows is the green power light that will eventually change as the battery dies.
When the DS Lite is in Game Boy mode, though, it doesn’t need each color to blink. It’s got a split in it so that the two different colors can blink simultaneously and give you the information that you need. Normally, the official Nintendo plates have a light pipe. Next up, I wanted to talk about the genius behind the LED light. I bought a screen protector for mine, it’s an inexpensive investment for any Game Boy Macro faceplate you use. I let it fall down my carpeted stairs and the device with the 3D printed faceplate held up! One other note that nothing is covering your screen, meaning you should be kind to it. The last test that frequent readers know that I like to test is the stair fall. I even sat on it a few times to test an accidental butt squash. They also hold up when you squeeze the Macro really hard. When I say these guys hold up well, I mean they hold us to being handled. You’ll end up with it being sticky and the holes for buttons will definitely let the liquid down into the device. If your kid spills something on it, it’s going to act the way that any normal piece of plastic would. So this means that under normal use these bad boys are going to hold up fine.ĭon’t get me wrong, though, they’re not magical. And I’m happy to report that I couldn’t even snap them. I thought that certainly, these faceplates that are relatively thin would give under even slight duress. Having never really touched anything 3D printed before, I had preconceived notions about the final products. I first took the faceplates, before they were attached, and tried to give them a twist and a bend. But I can tell you how it holds up under stress. Pbig5575 tells us that “All the faces are made out of PLA and printed on a Creality Ender 3 PRO.” If anyone out there has knowledge of 3D printing, you’ll be able to make more sense out of it than I can.
