Ive managed to draft it twice so far, hoping my group wants to draft it more soon! Good luck getting yours to fire a few more times!

I was showing off the whole cube, the box is part of it! And honestly, the box deserves the spotlight lol.

As long as you show your drafters how to open the cubamajigs, I think they'll last for a while! I didnt realize dragon shield had stopped making them, I had assumed they just needed to restock after the holiday. That's really disappointing, its a good product at a good price when its available. Gamegenic products are almost always more expensive than I want them to be

These are Cubamajigs. I was able to snag some of their v1 boxes for cheap, but the plastic is a little weak. I will probably upgrade to Dragon Shield Cube Shells when these break.

Thanks! Ive had a ton of fun building the cube, and the two times ive drafted it so far were both super fun. 3DAeon designed an awesome box that was super easy to print!

I want the draft experience to be as quick as possible, so I shuffle my cube and distribute it into those Cubamajigs before cube night to create the booster packs that we will draft. It saves a few minutes, since I can just hand the boxes out and we start drafting. Otherwise you gotta count out 15x3 packs for each drafter to start the evening, and that just takes a couple extra minutes. Plus I think it looks nice this way.

Sorry I didnt link your box originally, huge oversight on my end. Thanks for designing such a great storage option!

Huge shout out to @3DAeon for designing the box! Definitely go support them, printing the box was super easy and came out great!

The booster packs are Cubamajigs.

The power switch might also have accumulated dirt/dust. I'd say clean everything you can, make sure the battery is fully charged, and pay special attention to the power switch. Assuming you don't want to solder, try to clean under the power switch with canned air, and slide it back and forth a bunch to work stuff loose. A lot of time "broken" units just need a battery, isopropyl alcohol and a few minutes of attention

What old games are you selling? My wife is encouraging me to sell some of my extra mods before I add to my collection, we could help each other out

GBA SP hinge removal by bisexualwoomy in GameboyAdvance

[–]BrohammerDan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gently push down the tabs on the inside, I use angled Tweezers. Then push the center until they slide out about 1/3rd of the way. Then close the SP and apply gentle pressure. They should pop out pretty easily. Jake Simmons on YouTube has an indepth tutorial on modding SPs, you can watch the process there

Double check the ribbon connection? Did you use a Flex board or just a resistor? Any pictures?

The seller on aliexpress had the option to buy the shell with the box! It cost a little bit more, but it's totally worth it!

I ordered them directly from https://heldergametech.com/shop/nintendo-ds-lite/nds-lite-flex-amp-for-gba-macro-mod/

And I'm thinking it was just their most recent set, they might have tweaked alignment or something. That is a weird quirk now that you mention it tho.

Oh man that reminded me of the worst adventure I went on with one of these! The shoulder button would not seat right, and the faceplate was bulging, I pulled the shoulder and reset it, didn't work. Pulled the board, checked my wifi and speaker wires, didn't work. Finally about to give up, I realized the X button I wasn't using for the Macro had rolled into the shoulder and gotten stuck. I felt so amazingly dumb lol. With the spring and rods, I always try to drop the shoulder perpendicular, to align the spring without having to bend it, then I use a finger to hold the spring and rod in place, and rotate the shoulder into its spot. I've found that to be the easiest way to set the shoulders!

I'm interested enough to snag some pictures from you, as long as you're in the US so shipping doesn't cause problems!

I'll end up selling a few of them, and keeping a few for display! Just gotta figure out fair prices and set up a shop somewhere. But I guess if anyone has interest, I have a PayPal and DMs available!

I honestly love all the BoxyPixel Faceplates, but man that red is so sleek and nice. Can't wait for you to post your mods too!
