BEHIND THE BUILD

From printed parts.
To a save point.

A closer look at how the current Game Boy-inspired model comes together. Electronics and accessories shown depend on the selected configuration. These build photos show the parts, the progress, and the details you can expect to see up close.

It starts with a print.
01

It starts with a print.

This model begins on a Bambu Lab X1C, using approximately 4.21 kg of filament and around 110 hours of printing to produce the full set of parts. Layer by layer the frame, trim, and smaller components take shape—before assembly even begins.

Bringing the frame together.
02

Bringing the frame together.

Once printing is complete, the supports are removed and any rough edges are sanded smooth. The printed sections are aligned and glued together, bringing the frame into shape. The bezel is then glued to the TV, forming the screen assembly that fits into the kiosk.

Bringing the electronics together.
03

Bringing the electronics together.

The speakers are wired first, followed by securing the display and mounting the speakers inside the kiosk. The light bar is then installed to illuminate the lower display area. Finally, all wiring is routed through the enclosure, bringing the screen, sound, and lighting together.

Adding the finishing touches.
04

Adding the finishing touches.

The colored trim and lettering are glued into place, giving the kiosk its distinctive look. A decorative, non-functional reset button is also installed. If decals are included in the order, they’re applied at this stage to complete the chosen finish.

Building and testing the Game Boy mod.

The Game Boy is fitted with the HighSpeedIDO DMG mod and tested. The handheld’s display settings are checked, then it is connected to the kiosk to test the game on the larger screen. These two views show the modified handheld and the connected setup in use.

Final assembly and testing.
06

Final assembly and testing.

The Game Boy is secured in its holder, and the completed kiosk goes through its final checks. Gameplay, controls, sound, the display, and lighting are tested together to confirm everything works as it should.

AN HONEST LOOK, UP CLOSE

3D printing leaves
a fingerprint.

Layer lines, joins between printed sections, and small surface variations are part of this process. You can see them in the photos throughout this page.

The assembled model shown is made from printed parts, so its finish has a texture of its own. These close-up views help you know what to expect before choosing your build.

BEFORE YOU ORDER

Know your build.

Made to order2–3 weeks before shipment30-day limited warranty

Shipping and applicable sales tax are additional. Submitting an order request does not charge you. If accepted, you’ll receive a separate PayPal invoice. Payment is required in full before production begins.

Cancellations & Returns

Cancellations

Orders may be cancelled for a full refund before production begins.

Once printing, hardware preparation, or production has started, cancellations are subject to a 20% cancellation fee to cover committed material, machine time, and components.

Custom Build orders become non-cancellable and non-refundable once production begins.

Returns

Because each product is made to order, returns are generally not accepted for:

  • buyer’s remorse
  • color preference changes
  • normal 3D-print characteristics
  • minor cosmetic variation inherent to handmade or vintage hardware

A wrong order, shipping damage, or obvious defects must be reported to Save Point Foundry within 7 days of delivery, with photos when appropriate. Qualifying manufacturing or warranty defects remain covered for 30 days beginning on delivery under the applicable warranty.

Remedies depend on the issue and the applicable Printed Parts Kit or Assembled Kiosk warranty below.

Shipping Damage

Shipping damage must be reported within 7 days of delivery.

Customers should provide:

  • photos of the shipping box
  • photos of the internal packaging
  • photos of the damaged area
  • order information

Visible damage should be photographed before the product is fully removed from the packaging whenever possible.

Printed Parts Kit Limited Warranty

The Printed Parts Kit includes a 30-day limited warranty for qualifying manufacturing defects in printed components as delivered by Save Point Foundry, beginning on the delivery date.

What is covered

  • Missing printed parts
  • Printed components arriving cracked or structurally damaged
  • Severe warping or manufacturing defects that prevent intended assembly
  • Material or print failure attributable to Save Point Foundry

Normal print characteristics

Normal FDM-print characteristics are not defects, including:

  • Layer lines

  • Minor filament color variation

What is not covered

  • Customer assembly mistakes or incorrect installation
  • Damage from drilling, tapping, sanding, cutting, gluing, painting, heating, or other modifications
  • Overtightened screws or fasteners
  • Drops, impact, misuse, liquid damage, or excessive heat
  • Customer-supplied electronics or hardware
  • Wiring, electronics, or third-party components
  • Customer modifications
  • Fitment issues caused by non-specified hardware

This warranty does not extend to the customer’s finished assembled kiosk, electronics, wiring, or customer-installed components.

Reporting an issue and remedies

Shipping damage or obvious defects must be reported within 7 days of delivery, with photos when appropriate. Qualifying manufacturing defects remain covered for 30 days beginning on delivery.

Save Point Foundry may request an order number, photos, measurements, and a description of the issue.

When practical, the preferred remedy is repair or replacement of the affected printed component. A claim does not automatically result in replacement or refund of the full kit.

Assembled Kiosk Limited Warranty

The Assembled Kiosk includes a 30-day limited warranty beginning on the delivery date. Coverage applies to qualifying defects in work performed by Save Point Foundry and components it supplies and installs for your selected build.

What is covered

Depending on the issue, remedies may include repair, a replacement component, a replacement product where justified, or a refund where appropriate.

Vintage Hardware

The current model’s Modded Handheld option uses original vintage Game Boy donor hardware. Printed Parts Kits do not include donor hardware.

Because these components are decades old, minor cosmetic wear, component variation, or differences between donor units may be present.

All included hardware is tested before shipment. Replacement shells or other cosmetic components may be used as part of the rebuild where stated in the build description.

3D Printing & Color Variation

3D-Printed Product Disclosure

Each kiosk is produced using large-format 3D printing.

Visible layer lines, minor surface texture, small seams where printed sections are joined, slight dimensional variation that does not prevent intended assembly, and minor differences between individual builds are normal characteristics of the manufacturing process.

These characteristics are not considered defects.

The goal is a clean, durable, display-quality finished product, not injection-molded perfection.

Color Variation

Product images are intended to represent available colors as accurately as possible.

Actual color may vary slightly due to:

  • filament batch differences
  • room lighting
  • camera exposure
  • phone or monitor display settings
  • natural material variation

Minor color variation is not considered a defect.

Custom Builds

Custom Builds

Nonstandard options marked Custom Request, or other changes outside the listed standard options, are considered Custom Builds.

Custom Builds:

  • may cost more than a standard build
  • may require additional production time
  • require a custom quote
  • become non-cancellable and non-refundable once production begins

Custom Quote Validity

Custom quotes may be valid for a limited time because component, filament, and shipping costs can change.
