Yeah, I get that lol. That's fair enough. Really excited to see where this goes!
Another small update:
I designed some Gamecube-like buttons. They are 40% smaller than the orginals though. But still manageable
. The size is similar to the DS-buttons. I printed them with a .25mm nozzle and they turned out great 
Still way to go .
Edit: Interesting, how the nozzle diameter changes the overall quality of small prints O.O

Sicc, are you using Tinkercad?
I'm actually using 123D Design. (Yeah I know, its old
)The second test-print turned out very nice. Still many more things to do, but everything fits in place atm.
(the ABXY buttons are not in this picture because I didn't want to glue them in place
)
Thank you for that compliment
I will use the same 'glass' again, but this time I will use a protective layer on top of it. I was thinking about using real glass though, but it turns out to be a pain in the ass compared to the plastic one.
Edit:
Although it doesn't seem that way in the picture, the buttons fit nearly perfectly.
(Yes, this does look crappy, but remember, it's just a test print
)Still working on it (11pm already)

Ok, last update for today. I need to sleep ._.
If you have anything unclear, just ask. And if you think I made a mistake somewhere, you can tell me.
While there are still things missing, I am very happy with the progress. I will print the part of the D-Pad tomorrow, to test if everything fits together as planned.
I was thinking about printing this thing in a semi-transparent color. Maybe blue
. But not sure what color the buttons should be. Of course the A and B will be in green and red though .
Good night you awesome people! See you tomorrow (hopefully).

I think I got all the ports in place (or did I forget one? xD). It is slowly coming to an end...
What I added:
- all the necessary ports (Micro-USB for power, Power button, volume control, USB stick... did I miss something?
)
- air duct cover
- hole in the back for the air duct
- some roundings
Still missing:
- speakers
- mountings for the screws
- a fancy fan-cover
- probably a lot of other things I didn't think about yet...

This is gorgeous and all the more reason why I need to invest in a 3D printer.
Small update:
I tried different settings with the buttons. Personally I like them all. I think I will stick with the following:
Of course they look awful on these pictures ._.'
In real life they look much better. Nonetheless I will most likely sand them a little bit.
Another small update:

And after sanding

The before/after photos are night and day. I'm loving this project and how everything is coming together
