The GAMES BOOK is a functional tribute to the iconic Game Boy Color, reimagined as a high-capacity "book-style" library for your Nintendo Switch media.
Why you’ll love it:
-
Massive Capacity: Flip through pages to find your next adventure! It holds up to 27 Switch cartridges.
-
Spring-Loaded Security: Each slot features a precision-engineered integrated spring, ensuring your games stay snug and won't fall out.
-
The "Secret" Page: The final page includes dedicated slots for 9 Micro SD cards—perfect for your digital library.
-
Fully Customizable "Screen": Make it yours! The front screen is a swappable plate. I’ve included a Chroma Canvas / HueForge tutorial and settings file so you can print your favorite game scenes with stunning color depth.
-
Magnetic Snap: Uses two magnets (D=6mm - TH=2mm) for a satisfying, secure tactile closure.
💡 PRO TIP: Smooth Scrolling! If the pages aren't sliding as smoothly as you’d like, don't worry—there’s a classic "old school" fix!
Take a candle (unlit!) and gently rub the wax along the sliding rails. You only need a tiny amount. The wax acts as a dry lubricant, and your pages will slide like butter!
ASSEMBLY GUIDE Follow these steps to put your GAMES BOOK together in just a few minutes:
-
Cover Assembly: Connect the main shell components (COVER - FRONT, BACK, and SPINE) by simply snapping them together. You should hear a clear "CLICK" confirming they are securely locked.
-
Control Panel: Glue the BUTTONS section onto the front cover.
-
LED Detail: Glue the RED LED piece into its designated slot on the BUTTONS panel.
-
Stacking the Pages: Stack the pages onto the back cover. Start with the 2x PAGE and finish with the PAGE - FRONT. Pro Tip: Position each page halfway over the previous one and press down firmly to snap them into place!
-
Magnetic Closure: Glue the 4 magnets into their respective housings. Make sure to double-check the polarity before the glue sets to ensure a perfect snap!
-
Customization: Simply snap your favorite printed image (using the included Chroma Canvas profile) into the screen slot.

hi! I just purchased this, but I was wondering if I could get a blank template for the window? (I would like to add a sticker instead of a printed image)
Hello! All right, I'll be posting an update soon with the following new parts:
Thanks, ALFI
When you update the models, can you post an announcement on your media pages and such?
I made that file if you need it
I love it, but I have a question: what size are the circular magnets?
6x2mm
Your discord message for this has the link to the print files not the picutures
Thank you so much! I re send the message with photos :)
Thank you very much! Great work
What filament did you use for the body colors?
PLA and matte PLA by eSun
I'm having trouble with the quality of the top layer of the BUTTONS. I'm testing with a 0.25 nozzle, but the quality is still very poor. Any tips?
Is it possible to put the magnets "hidden"? like make a pause and then print a thin layer on top it printed great but I made a mess with the glue and the magnets
are there 3mfs of the other jpgs?
Hello there!
