This is a case for the brilliant online GameBoy link cable by stacksmashing.
To assemble the case, you need to glue the lid. There might be a friction fit version in the future, but I am not promising anything. Four drops of superglue will be enough to secure the lid.
The video about the cable:
You can buy the adapter kit here (you also need a Raspberry Pi Pico per adapter).
The wiki entry to get you started with the adapter.
There are two variants of this case:
- Glued
The lid will need to be glued to the case if it should stay in place. I printed mine (see the pictures) with default Prusa slicer settings for generic PLA with 0.15 mm layer height and 15% infill. - Snap fit (thanks to Grabmoix from the stacksmashing discord server for this derivative!)
The lid will snap into the case so no glue is required.
Printer needs to be well tuned as the details are quite small. It works printing in PLA but PETG is recommended, it is a little less brittle. The "nose" between the two GB classic / GBP,GBA connectors is quite delicate and prone to break if you do not take care. PETG is a little more forgiving. When fitting first place the two knobs on the back in the holes (make sure they fit or sand them a litte (should not be necessary). Then just gently push down the lid such that it snaps on.
For printing a layer height of 0.15mm is recommended. Infill of 15% and no supports (it really works better without!)
