My buttons keep turning when playing and get stuck. my parts are from the sudomod market, ds lite buttons and 3d printed. Should i shave the tabs off the buttons? Any ideas?
I've only had this problem if the button PCB isn't screwed onto the 3d-printed part tight enough (careful though, if you over-tighten you may cause a little bulge above where the screw hole is). What happens is if you press the buttons hard then that tab (which you should not need to remove) slides between the rubber membrane and the 3d-printed piece. So that needs to be nice and tight so it can't do that.

New here, so hello to all. Stumbled across the YouTube video of this last night and wow, one of the coolest things I have seen in a while. So of course I ordered all of the parts (Besides the charger, its out of stock) this morning to build my own. I'm sure I will have plenty of questions once I start to build this thing but I do have one now. That guide for the holes that wermy snaps on to the bottom of the tin, is it available for purchase? Or do I have to just measure them out and go for glory? Thanks for your time.

They come in the 3d-printed set that I sell.

Okay, so I am new to everything, but saw this on Youtube and definitely thought it would be worth a shot! So here is my first of possibly many questions.

I am planning on purchasing my own 3D Printer and printing out the parts myself. So, would I be able to print out the parts required using the STARTT 3D Printer: https://www.imakr.com/us/en/startt-affo ... inter.html ?

Thank You
