What software do you use on your splash screen?
Been looking at trying to do my own.

Hi, awesome job on your gameboy and on your splash screen ;D

Where did you find the 3D file to print the blue part which maintain your screen ? I don't want to put a lot of hot glue in my gameboy and it's a perfect thing !

I designed it myself. It is very specific to the button PCB layout. What do you have? I can make adjustments to fit your build.

I cut a smaller opening with a dremel first and sanded it down by hand.

I like the idea of the battery box grip/buttons. I might have to do something similar...

Honestly, it's the most comfortable layout yet.

I have more designs in the works as well. One that would accommodate a battery pack.

Have you put any on thingiverse?

I have the exact same screen as you. I can test with your STL file and modify it if i need it.

Thanks
