New 3DS XL D-Pad and ABXY Cad Files

[loopj]

Hey folks,

I've modeled out the mounting fixtures, buttons, and membranes for the New 3DS XL D-Pad and ABXY buttons.

These buttons are great for people targeting thin portables, since they shave off some height compared to the traditional DS Lite buttons. Please note these do not use conductive membranes, they are designed to be used with tacts, or New 3DS dome stickers.

New 3DS XL ABXY Buttons

Both of these files have 4 components

1. The buttons themselves
2. The thin silicone membrane
3. The mounting pattern, designed to be used with a "Combine / Join" operation
4. The case cutout, designed to be used with a "Combine / Cut" operation

Hopefully these are helpful for someone else!

The models line up very well with my reverse engineered shell model, thanks for posting such a great resource for everyone!

Hi! Did you reverse engineer all parts of the shell for the New 3DS XL? If you did, would you be willing to share those files?
