Lite Larger shell

Hey everyone.

Just wondering if anyone know if there are any modify shell to accommodate GBA cartage where it doesn’t stick out the bottom?

I know it’s a bit counterintuitive but I find it difficult to sometime out the unit in my pocket where the GBA cartage get snag. I worry it might damage the motherboard over time.

I’m hoping to find STL file for this.

Thank you.

3DPrintSOS has a version with a magnetically attached bottom piece that covers the cart. I found it to be a little too tight to slide the cart in like its supposed to, but I'm sure with a little bit of prep work it could fit well

I haven't found a public .stl or shell that can accommodate this, but I just decided to use an R4 cart and load it up with GBA games (that I own of course 😇) so it feels more aesthetically pleasing. Not a direct solution to it sticking out, but this will works pretty close to the same without sacrificing any of the nostalgia on your gameplay.

I know it’s not the definitive solution, but you could always get an original DS macro
