Have to buy them I'm afraid. While the footprints and some example schematics are available for download, you can't just "make" your own of most of them. The GC+ 2.0 has a github where all files can be downloaded, including the Eagle files to order PCBs from whatever company is most convenient, but that's the only one you can "make" yourself unless you plan to reverse engineer everything.

Sorry for the radio silence! I have been working on making the pcb files from scratch and making sure that they work before I released I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I did need to modify the STL files that G-man provided as well to adjust mounting holes and I, unfortunately, needed to thicken it by 2mm to allow the audio board to clear the batteries but overall it doesn't change much beyond this. One other thing I did was adjust the lcd retainer to have mounting holes for the stock g-boy screen as well as the 480p screen (JT035IPS02-V0). I also have my BOM and links to everything I bought to help anyone who wants to make one. I will put the STL files here and the source files for fusion 360. I will also provide the files for the PCBs and their source files as well in case anyone needs to modify them. I made these pcbs in easyeda. Hope this helps!

BOM:
I've resin printed the buttons included in your zip (they look to be exactly the same as Gunnar's originals), but they do not seem to fit in the shell. Comparing the back half to Gunnar's, it looks like you added an extra lip that it's catching on. Was this on purpose? And do you have a particular way you are able to make the shoulder buttons fit?

Hey I noticed the same lip on my prints and I just sanded them down it seems to be working, But buttons are real sensitive I barely touch them and it double presses.

I ended up having to sand down this lip, and then I sanded some parts of the buttons as well. Can't quite seem to get it perfect, but I'm getting decent actuation.
