Please remember to provide as much information as possible including all troubleshooting steps you have already taken. If this is a hardware issue, please provide clear in-focus images of the issue, PCB (circuit board), installation, and any soldering you have done. Help us help you, posts with insufficient information will be deleted

Because this post has the "Game Boy Advance SP" tag, we recommend checking out this wiki page https://gbwiki.org/en/consoles/advancesp

A few things:

  1. This isn't what troubleshooting is for
  2. You'd be better off spending your energy making an original design instead of copying someone elses
  3. It's not your design, so you can't release the files, free or not

I mean all the more power to you if you want to mill somethink like this out for yourself. It looks like you printed it out on an SLA printer. Three things should you choose to finish this. One make sure you run this to full assembly with SLA prints prior to outsourcing to a mill. Secondly, when choosing screws make sure you have taps that match. Finally, as leggomyfroggo mentioned, this has ethical ramifications and should only be used personally (don't distribute).

Absolutely the best call. I can however give you some quick suggestions regarding the print itself. What orientation did you print it in? It almost looks like you went flat or at a steep angle? If you haven't tried it, LycheeSlicer has light supports and island detection built into the software and can be incredibly useful in creating seamlessly clean prints.

Ah, forget I said anything then. I do this stuff for a living so I have a bit of an eye for it and it made me sad to see support pock marks on the opaque one.

#

Yeah, PCBWay does an excellent job with printing jobs. The only downside is shipping. Anyways best of luck sir

have it 3d scanned and have a file created from it. but sit down, it's not cheap
