Hey,

I finaly took the time to recase my project so,... there's a few pictures.

Features:
5" 4/3 screen
2x 3400mAh 18650 batteries (2-3 hours of battery life)
Wii PMS and UAmp
MicroSD slot

I wanted to try something hinged for this project. I used a DSLite hinge with the original piece holding the hinge.
Since the screen part is quite heavy, I added a part to hold it at the perfect angle to play.

I used capacitive switches for power, vol+ and vol-. It comes with an interresting "feature": When I close it it will turn the console off.

Can we get a picture of the internals?

Funky design, I like it.

This is awesome! I love the color scheme, it looks much more elegant than the original white and green. Do you have a link to the filament you used?

I'll do some if I am motivated to open it, I don't know why I don't have any.

Thank you, it is just regular PLA filament, sanded and painted. I used this paint.

I'm curious about your capacitive switches, do you have a link? Looks awesome by the way! I know clamshells can have their challenges...

Hello,
thank you, that's those ones: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32821266407.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dDJfX9Y

They are cheap and nice, however only high level.

It would be better to use them in an non portable project.

Nice concept, it is cool because it protects the screen from scratch.
Very nice to fit in backpack

I love the idea of having the sides of the screen hollow for the sticks to fit in. Absolutely genius. Great job dude!
