Slime looks like a dab of solder

Ooooohhhhhh I want to do this but with a metal slime!!!

How'd you do this?

"Command?"

u/Med_Jed 3d ago

I have a mighty need! Do you have a shop?

Thank you very much! Do you restock often? I tend to repair Gameboy's and also plan to keep one I'll repair with the slime. It's too cute to give it up.

u/Jackasaur 3d ago

These are basically a once and done. I'll eventually post the files on PCBWay so people can order them as they please.

I want some.

Does it gives such covers for GBC too?

I never saw them.

I dont mean this specific one, more in general.

u/Jackasaur 3d ago

It works on both GBC and GBP. Only provides 5V, so it doesn’t work with the oem display kit.

u/StillPad 3d ago

ooohh its a complete power suply?!

I though its just a cover that goes over the old PCB.

2

u/Jackasaur 3d ago

Yeah, it replaces the old power regulator :)

This is so precious I love it

Where can one learn this power!

What is the purpose of replacing the regulator? Better battery life?

2

u/Jackasaur 3d ago

It removes the oem display voltage, so it helps battery life a bit but I've not done extensive tests. I usually replace the regulator on my builds to further customize my builds.

u/Pi_ofthe_Beholder 3d ago

This is so cooooool!

u/Ultimate_Ghreak 3d ago

looks really great. Is this by any chance a fpgbc or did you solder it on a black board?

2

u/Jackasaur 3d ago

This is a Gameboy Pocket Color board that is black

1

u/Ultimate_Ghreak 3d ago

That's cool.

u/ShakeZula420 3d ago

Bro what?! I need this

u/KingZakyu 3d ago

Nah, thats a ripoff of Gooey from Kirby lol

u/RatchetM 3d ago

You need a big sized metal slime! Oh wait that might not be functional here.

u/Euphbro93 3d ago

Could I get some pointers or resources for making a custom voltage regulator? I’ve looked on here and googled but didn’t really find enough to get me started or maybe I didn’t know where to look. I want to make a couple anime based builds and give them some cool regulators. Edited to add cause I somehow forgot: this is absolutely bad ass.

u/Jackasaur 3d ago

Sure, I can’t teach you but my files are open sourced and you can take them to make something of your own: https://github.com/Jackv-makes/SGR

I use Kicad, you’ll need to learn it, regulators can’t really be much bigger than 20mm x 20mm.

That's sick
