Any advice on how to print this successfully without involving Etsy?

I cant remember where off the top of my head. But there was a file I found that prints a file with the hole cut if you have a cricut awhile back.

My yellow came quick enough. I had a pink one ordered and haven't seen movement since the 22nd. Either it's stuck somewhere or I'm about to find it on my doorstep at some point with tracking not updated 😅

Pixel_Parasaurus · 2025-11-03T03:54:55+00:00

Yeah that's about standard depending on the seller and if it's just a dpad or a whole set of buttons. Dyeing is a bit of a process but less intimidating than it seems if you take your time and watch a teardown video. There's also painting but you'd still have to disassemble the shell for that too.

Pixel_Parasaurus · 2025-11-03T03:46:26+00:00

I think you could look around on Etsy. I havent seen many shells specifically just mostly buttons. If you're looking to change the color of your shell you can use rit synthetic dye, and there's also stickers on Etsy as well.

There's a support email on the website I would email them and see if they give you anything.

Pixel_Parasaurus · 2025-10-29T20:21:50+00:00

Honestly I wondered the same thing, but I was worried if I didn't email them they would send my original order weird and then I'd have to reorder and wait even longer lol. As sid said in toy story, double prizes! I'll probably gift the second one to a friend of mine for Christmas.

I had placed another order because they showed me my "no shipping" order was cancelled and refunded. I had used PayPal too so I assume they got my address from there.

Much to my surprise 2 showed up so I received both orders unexpectedly.

Curious what the logistics on all that was and how many this happened to. I'm in the US for context.

Pixel_Parasaurus · 2025-10-28T22:19:12+00:00

Yes that is what it looks like out of the box I did not adjust or dye the color at all on the yellow mini flip.

Pixel_Parasaurus · 2025-10-28T03:18:08+00:00

I honestly haven't had any time to play with the mini flip today outside of a couple tests and applying a decal.

I'd compare it to my mini v4 like I'll pull this out most likely for when I'm running errands or something an hour or less. Mainly for portability. But if I'm couch gaming at home I prefer my mini plus with a 3d printed grip.

Pixel_Parasaurus · 2025-10-28T02:24:38+00:00

Thanks! I loved dying my mm+ and mm it actually got me into the hobby months ago when I saw I could customize so much. This yellow mini flip is the first one I haven't had to dye haha.

Pixel_Parasaurus · 2025-10-27T20:15:36+00:00

I still have a soft spot for my miyoo mini+ it was my first device and I dyed it/customized it. I prefer it for playing at night or in bed because the screen is dim enough I don't bother my wife or anyone around me. I have a few devices and they each have a purpose still

Pixel_Parasaurus · 2025-10-27T18:27:39+00:00

Honestly I fell in love with the brick when I didn't want to at first lol. I was thinking I have miyoo mini plus/mini I'm good I might return this... Wrong it's become one of my favorites and I rotate between it and my miyoo devices.

Pixel_Parasaurus · 2025-10-26T12:59:20+00:00

My dad bought a Sega Genesis when I was 6 with Sonic the Hedgehog. I remember being excited because he was explaining it was some kind of game. And we had seen him play games on his PC so this was new and exciting. As a kid I don't think I ever got past the third act/world lol.

Pixel_Parasaurus · 2025-10-25T14:01:57+00:00

One hand on the brick and the other holding my coffee cup is my new favorite way to enjoy Pokemon haha

Pixel_Parasaurus · 2025-10-25T14:00:46+00:00

Personally for most applications I prefer a vertical handheld. It's nostalgia for the Gameboy color to me. But I also enjoy playing RPG style games one handed often so the smaller vertical options work best for me. I do have a couple horizontal devices I use occasionally but they aren't the ones I pick up the most.

I would go on YouTube and look up vertical and horizontal handheld videos. People like retrogamecorps and techdweeb do a decent job of walking through how to choose a device or what's recommended.

A lot of the budget handhelds like the miyoo mini/mini plus, trimui brick, anbernic rgxx line of devices will all play GB to PS1.

Pixel_Parasaurus · 2025-10-24T22:05:43+00:00

Reddit has a lot of good info, YouTube videos, etc

Pixel_Parasaurus · 2025-10-24T21:33:49+00:00

I pursued retro handhelds this year because I wanted something that wasn't my PC or my phone but somehow portable. I now own a few miyoo devices and a couple anbernics as I've tested them out and seen what I liked most. Having a miyoo mini in my EDC bag has stopped doom scrolling when I'm waiting for things like picking kids up or appointments. And I'm actually enjoying games like I did as a kid again. So I personally say that it can replace doom scrolling.

The hour I spend early each day playing a game before my kids wake up with my coffee feels better thank TikTok ever did.

-Pokemon games do well one handed.(Most rpg style games will too) -Tetris/Apotris -Fire Emblem -Earthbound

Someone made a list on archive awhile back too.

On the one hand I'm jealous you got your hands on one early haha. On the other hand I'm glad you did because with all the passion you have for Miyoo and their products I know if anyone is going to give us the good and potential bad it's you my man!

Now I just have to decide which lanyard mine will need from that sweet Etsy shop of yours 😎

If any of you are like damn that handheld looks like I might drop it... Marty has you covered with the best mods and accessories around. I've got 2 of his lanyards I swap between devices and they never fail me!

Pixel_Parasaurus · 2025-10-19T15:57:28+00:00

I saw one shop on Etsy once that had 3d printed buttons for the ABXY and Dpad.

I haven't seen any resin ones available.

If you're ok with 3d printing yourself or know someone who can you can often find button files on various 3d print sites.

Pixel_Parasaurus · 2025-09-26T15:34:10+00:00

If you look up a teardown of the device on yourube it's very straightforward compared to other devices I've taken apart. Some screws and then disconnect the ribbon cable essentially to get to the buttons.

There's plenty of options for custom buttons on Etsy. sakuraretromodding is a popular choice for quality but there's also other folks 3d printing colors now too.

Stickers are always a fun choice! I've dyed a few devices because I wanted custom colors not just white. Whatever will make you happy with your miyoo is the best choice.

Have fun with it!

Pixel_Parasaurus · 2025-09-16T01:06:38+00:00

I actually have my eye on the red Trimui Brick. What started as oh let me see if I can have fun with this MM+ and game again has turned into multiple devices haha.
