Mellis89 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Just purchased a worn down Lynx model 1 for $35.00 from Facebook Marketplace with a worn out shell. Does anyone know of a site for aftermarket replacements? I know theres a ton for the GameBoy and Game Gear market I just cant seem to ifnd any for the Lynx.

obschan Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I would also be interested in something like that, my Lynx I shell has stripped screw holes. Are there any 3d models of the shells somewhere ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlynxalot Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I don't think anyone has developed aftermarket shells for lynx. You can periodically find shells for sale on ebay, I've seen a few over the years from gutted consoles. If the shell is worn down because the paint is rubbing off in places, you might find it easier to just repaint it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filling the screw hole with epoxy then drilling a small pilot hole might also work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I've looked into 3D printing them but it's much too difficult for the shape. There is a possibility of doing a crowd-funded Kickstarter if people are interested, @BennVenn and I have discussed it several times in the past. So if enough people are interested, we could make it a reality. A crystal clear shell would be cool! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

str0m Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Would be good if someone made one. I have bought a few NGPC ones off aliexpress, cheap and assemble well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
