Hello! I'm currently looking for a simple and affordable first Wii portable, my budget is $200 and I know literally nothing about desiging portables.
Yes it’ll work fine. PCBWay just tends to be a bit more pricey. The print quality will largely be the same between the two companiesOhh. Does JLC work with PCBway or no?
Got it. I just don't know how to use JLCPCB and also how to get it 3D printed there tooYes it’ll work fine. PCBWay just tends to be a bit more pricey. The print quality will largely be the same between the two companies
Whats a good type of print (3D technology) for my budget?FDM is if you're printing the case at home with a consumer filament 3D printer. The JLC files are tweaked for if you're paying for JLCPCB's SLS nylon or MSLA resin printing
I would wait for the Xii-Boy Ultra but I'm trying to have this built for my birthday.Please try to limit the amount of posts you make in a row. It just clutters the thread. You can edit a post to add additional information if you feel the need.
FDM is the cheapest in most cases if you own a printer or have one you can use. My public library has a Bambu X1I'm able to use for a couple bucks for example.
On JLCPCB I believe the basic black or white resin is the cheapest option. Depending on the Wii Portable build, it can be about $7.50-$45.
As for the PCBs, I don't have time to look through all of those now. But it looks like the flex pcb is selected as a solid pcb instead. Make sure to change that. Also you will want a 3d printed shell for your XiiSBar.
And you will need to figure out a solution for your RVL-PMS as well. I'd highly recommend just waiting until the XiiBoy 3 is released. If you want to pursue this build, make sure you do the proper research and have the right tools. The controller PCB has a QFN IC that needs to be installed, for example. These boards are not preassembled.
I checked the part list for the Ashida and the total is around $245 and $200 is my budget and I don't know any portables around that price range but other than that I would love to build an AshidaHey Logan, welcome to the hobby!
As amazing as the Xii-Boy is, I'd strongly recommend starting with an Ashida as your first project.
Are you comfortable with assembling surface-mount components onto bare PCBs?
Also, in your screenshot you have the Xii-Boy flex PCB listed as a rigid PCB rather than a flex PCB.
I would slow down a little and do some reading first. Good luck!!
Yeah the main difference is the screen tolerances. I made some updates about it recently but I haven’t uploaded the new files yet. If you order your case in Nylon or Resin, JLC version is needed. Otherwise, just use FDM.Alright! I'm checking the thread and files but what's the difference between FDM and JLC
There are some mistakes. Here is a list:I don't know if I put everything in here right. Please let me know if there's any mistakes!
