Gameboy Advance SP on-the-go - Rugged Box

Remix / Design by R_vdk

 

Application / Functions

As I love to get my old gameboy out from time to time, I thought a good rugged case was finally in place. This case is perfect for me as it both fits on the Prusa Mini+, as well as accomodates just enough of my games (I only have 4, lost 2 but am thinking of buying a couple more).

 

Features

  • Perfectly fitted space for the Gameboy Advance SP;
  • Handy cutout to get the device out easily;
  • Storage space for the charger → under revision;
  • Custom insert spaces for 6 cartridges;
  • Easy to use hinges
  • Easy to use clamp
  • Steel or wooden axles needed (diam. 2mm)
  • Top of the box inserted with custom foamrubber to protect everything.

Update 8-09-2023 

  • Added cutouts to improve cartridge spacing

Update 11-09-2023 (After first print)

  • Increased top shell heigth by 10mm to better accomodate the cable;
  • Moved cartridges more to the right to eliminate lid interference;
  • Strengthened the clamp-mechanism

Update 12-09-2023

  • Current model fits all parts perfectly;
  • Clamp closes with ease but doesn't get stuck;
  • Insert of foamrubber or similar above the gameboy required to prevent it from rattling.

Future improvements

I will be updating this model untill satsified with the result. In the near future, I will probably explore storing the cartridges in the top shell, without compromising the overall slender look of the box. Follow for more info!
