Game Boy Color: USB-C Cutting tool

Description

This plastic tool made with a 3D printer will help you make a perfect hole in your Game Boy Color shell. It works as a template, helping you drill the hole precisely where it needs to be. By using a rotary tool, such as a Dremel, you can move the drill bits around the hole in the plastic tool, which will create the same hole on the shell. Watch this video to better understand how it works.

FEATURES

A plastic tool printed in PLA with a layer height of 0.2mm. It may be usable more than once if you use the appropriate drill bits.

INCLUDED

• 1 x USB-C Cutting tool (Random color: Gray or Black)

REQUIRED (NOT INCLUDED)

• Two screws like those included with the GBC shell, just for holding the cutting tool in place during the cutting process.
• A rotary tool like a Dremel with drill bits or diamond burs for cutting the hole.

NOTES

Only two can be ordered per order since this is a tool meant to assist with the installation of charging boards, not a product for profit. It takes an hour and a half to print one.

If you need many of them, you can have them made at JLCPCB for $1 each + shipping. But don’t forget to follow the product license.
