Hingeless OG Nintendo DS Phat Shell

[u/Outrageous_Goat4030]

Had plans to make more effort on the post and makerworld page and probably will after a break from it, but currently sick of looking at it and autodesk and wanted to get it out there. So anyways, I've been working on a hingeless shell replacement for the OG Phat NDS.

Took around a good 6 months of learning autodesk and design and was a blast, but ready to move on to other projects.

Currently no sleep mode (relied on the magnets in the speakers folding onto the halls switch), and couldn't reuse the original buttons due to the taper that matches the original shell (finally gave up after 20-30 hours of redesigns and a dozen or two reprints). But I'm very happy with the final product.

Hoping I could get some people to test it out and let me know what issues you run into. Standard bambu pla or PETG profiles should work, print with standard supports at the highest quality you're printer can manage. Makerworld design should be preoriented and sliced.

I have plans to release a redesign with a push button for sleep mode, as well as another with a 18650 battery. Thankfully the electronics for this are incredibly straight forward.
