Gameboy Player (OG) for Panasonic Q

This is the GBP Player shell for the Panasonic Q but you can use the original GBP player internals for the Q.  I took inspiration from the original design from 0Cordo but couldn't work with the files in Sketchup Free Web so I started from scratch and added all the features that were missing as best as I could.  

Things to note about this print and install:
1) You will need to mod the PCB just a hair. You'll see below why.
2) You will use all the original screws, 2 mounting screws to the console, and the lever spring from the original GBP (although I recommend an M2 insert for the lever Post to take the pressure off of it).
3) This will use the bottom shield as well. I know you had to remove it in 0Cordo's, but you can keep it all in this version.
4) This is FDM friendly.  I tried to make this as easy to print as possible. That top shell is very complicated, so hopefully you can print this now. 
5) Do NOT overtighten the screws.  Just tighten them until you feel resistance.

Additional Hardware recommended
1) m2x8mm screw (1) with m2 washer for the lever post.
2) m2 heat insert (1) for the lever post.
3) m3x8mm (4) for the feet. 
4) m3 heat insert (4) for the feet.
5) felt pads (16mm or maybe 5/8") for the feet

INSTALL: 
1) Print the Top, Bottom, Lever, Feet if you plan on printing the top as a whole. The top can be printed very nicely if you have an AMS or don't mind switching filaments a lot on a single spool printer.  There are profiles that has 0 space between the supports and the main print and with PETG and PLA not sticking well to each other, this will be your best bet to use one or the other as the Interface layer.  The results are fantastic but is an absolute killer on Filament due to the supports.  Mine took 12 hours to print with the PLA I used and the PETG as the interface layer. 

1)(Alternate) Print Top-Cut, Bottom, Lever, Feet, and Alignment plugs. If you want an easier print, save filaments, and don't mind glue up, this is for you.  The Top-Cut 3mf file is split where I believe will give you the best results.  The alignments plugs are 1:1 to the openings and mine actually fit tight, but you may want to Scale the plugs in your slicer by a hair if yours are too tight.
     a) The glue up for the top is simple.  Test fit the alignment plugs in the 4 respective Full-through holes and the 2 rear openings. If too tight, scale them in your slicer till you get a good friction fit.  It'll help with the alignment of the two parts greatly. (I recommend Gel super glue to give you time to set up, clamp, and set aside. Don't use an activator…I did and there were some bumps cause they hardened toooo fast…lol). After drying, remove the plugs.

2) (for all) Find What to Grind on PCB -Now that you have all the parts, install the full GBP hardware into the bottom shell as shown. You don't need to screw it down (maybe 2 to hold it down if you want) or anything below it as this is just to find out what you need to grind.


Install the top shell.  If you look in the top left opening (from the perspective as shown above), you will see a portion of the PCB stick out.  Take a sharpie and trace around the area you need to grind/cut using the opening as your guide.  This is all the modding you will need to do.  This is to allow the feet from the Q to actually fit properly.
After grinding (use whatever method works best for you. I used my drill press with a sanding attachment and it made quick work on that corner), it should look like below: 

3. Time for the real install.  Take the GBP out of the shell.  First thing you will install is the lever. Take the spring from the OG GBP lever and put it onto the new lever and install it into the shell like this (if you want to use the m2 screw as recommended in the beginning, install the m2 insert into the post now like the photo shows below).

4) PCB install - Now that the lever is set, place the 2 console mounting screws into the respective openings and then set the GBP PCB (with top & bottom shield) into place. It should look like below. You can install all the screws as shown below.  You'll need the 4 open for the top shell

5) Install the Top - Now you can install the top.  It might be finicky to get in, but it does.  I even tapered the tabs in the connector side to help, but mine kept getting hung up on something. It goes in eventually regardless. Now you can install the 4 screws towards the front of the shell.  I replaced the security screws with a coarse thread m3 phillips, but only 3 as the 4th is the m2 screw and washer for the post.  

6) Install the Feet - Time to install the feet.  Take the m3 screws and install all 4 feet.  The 2 rear ones will secure the top shell to the bottom.  Remember…don't over tighten. 

Optional - You can install felt pads into the feet openings.  It about 16mm diameter.  I believe 5/8" felt pads could work, but I haven't test. 

This now completes the GBP for Panasonic Q. Install into your Q like you would if you had the real thing.  Enjoy!
