I've been working on this for the past few days. It's meant to look like a cleaned up game boy with a more space efficient internal layout. It's still compatible with regular button boards, screens, etc. but there are now dedicated spaces for components like the audio amp, powerboost, usb ports and arduino. There's enough free space on the inside that I've made space for a pi 3 (with the ports chopped off). I still have to add L/R triggers on the back.

That looks really impressive! Do you have stl files so people could print their own?

I do, but I want to test it before I release it. My latest print failed because the y-axis on my printer has stopped working. I'm waiting on some parts like the lense. Additionally, I still need to add cutouts for a potentiometer and 3.5mm jack.

If despite that you want to print it or modify it, the files are attached :)
