Ah, clothes buttons are apparently called snaps where I am from.
Here clothes buttons would be the ones you put through a fabric loop/hole.
So it made me really curious why those would be the method of choice, lol.
Was brainstorming with a couple of friends, supergluing the power bank directly would be too cumbersome, and velcro would get a lot of debris inside it. So one friend suggested clothes buttons and I was really hooked on the idea lol.
That a really inventive way of connecting the battery bank, but I question why you would need more battery capacity on a 3DS. The battery on mine lasts for fucking ever. Lol
I really like max 3d and max brightness, so this will allow me to game longer with both of those longer.
Fair enough! Thanks for sharing your mod with us! Happy gaming!
Making a powerbank seems like too much work.
Wouldn't it be easier to buy one and 3D-print something to mount it?
"Made" might be a strong word the making was really buying a case from Aliexpress for 1$ and a 21700 samsung battery of 5000mah. Edited the post as it was a tad misleading.The only important thing was it outputting 5v2a which it already did.
Cool
