Ant's Circuit Sword STL Files (joystick, shoulder button, exhaust fan cartridge)
Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2018 5:41 pm
Hi all, my first attempt at making a thread here on sudomod. I've made some .stl files that I think will be helpful to other folks out there.
First is a joystick in the bottom left of the case. You will still need to epoxy it down. The screws are from Amazon M1.8x5mm https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FK ... UTF8&psc=1. You will need to clip off a couple of mm to make them short enough so they don't push into the case when you screw the joystick in. The gameboy case is so thick you may need to add a piece of paper in the joystick cap to make it extend a little longer. Ensure the bracket is glued as close as possible to the case so that the joystick is as low as possible when mounted. Solder your wires from the right and wrap them around and up the hole through kites board - if kites board presses too hard on the back of the joystick it can make it not return to center - don't forget your kapton tape! I designed my own center joystick holder and modeled it off of @HoolyHoo 's Screen Bracket w/joystick. Since my design is basically the same as his I won't be posting that here.
Second is my back button design. I really like how the the start/select buttons feel and look so I made these files. This works with Kite's back button board. The drill guide is for a 2mm drill and the final drill diameter is a 3mm drill.
