Background:

This is a case I designed for the "Game Boy WiFi Printer" with "D1 Mini Shield," a portable, battery-powered, wifi-enabled game boy printer emulator and web server. The Game Boy Printer was a portable monochrome thermal printer to go along withe the Game Boy Camera, a low-fi camera peripheral for Game Boy & Game Boy Color. This device, unlike the actual game boy printer, merely stores the images and makes them very easy to access via a web interface and wifi (either ad-hoc or infrastructure mode), it does not print. Since the Game Boy Printer was the only original means of exporting images from the Game Boy Camera, this device uses the GB Link cable and emulates the printer.

Features:

The case's design features:
* compact
* room for a variety of battery shapes
* provides a friction-based mount for the shield, which has no mount points
* has been balanced to be a tight fit but still removable
* window to connect the GB Link port, as well as a shaped opening to ensure the correct orientation of the plug
* oversized window for a variety of USB micro port shapes for charging
* incorporates a mount for an on/off switch
* window for OLED display

What you'll need
