@wermy would you be able to update the parts list with a link to the screen you will be using for this project?

i think that will come, when they have actually tested the other screens and see which works best.... it could be a bare screen or a screen with the board

unless you already have these, there no need to rush out and buy just yet (either options are readily available)

Yep, probably wise to wait until we actually can test and finalize the screen stuff before telling people what to buy.

So, it looks like the PCB is designed to have tactile switches used for the Start and Select buttons. Is that right? do you not use the DS Lite start or select buttons?

[Helder]

That is correct, only the DPAD and face buttons are used from the DSLite. The L/R is also tactile switches and again as mentioned before wait till everything is all sorted out before buying things as Wermy is testing a few different tact buttons for fitting with the 3D parts.

[wermy]

The tiny start/select button caps from the DSL do get used, but not the actual tact switches from the ds lite.

@wermy what material you recommend me for the 3D Printed parts?

@wermy what material you recommend me for the 3D Printed parts?

I recommend using PLA to minimize warping over something like ABS.

I use PLA for the main colored part with the buttons, as well as the bezel. I use a PC/PBT blend that is much stronger for the hinge and anything with screw holes.

Edit: I use these guys - I've had great luck with them: https://www.pushplastic.com/collections

Added a small update about testing to the first post.
