I left my phone at a friend's house and my DSLR Camera's Battery Charger replacement ain't coming for a week or so. Deal with the image quality. xD
I don't know if something better than this exists (probably anything is better). BUT, I just took a Dremel tool and cut out the microSD card slot (it is perfectly cut around the N3DS logo on the bottom ). I'm used to my O3DS's SD slot that was easy to remove...well now this is even easier. I tested it and it doesn't get in the way of gameplay + is super easy to operate. I did a lil bit of a sloppy job but made sure to smooth it out so no one cuts themselves off of the edges.
I don't do DIY much so I thought I'd come up with something and just do it. I wanted to replace the bottom plate and they are cheap anyways so if I messed up it was no big deal. I'm already liking it.I usually have a case on this so it protects it from internal dust or anything. I just like only having to take off the case instead of both layers.
So yay! No more opening the back to get the microSD card out.
The whole process took me like...what? 3 - 5 minutes?
Here are very broad and shitty instructions: [If you get hurt, it's on you. If your device somehow explodes or something, it's on you.]
- REMOVE THE BOTTOM PLATE FROM THE 3DS. YOU ONLY NEED TO USE THIS PIECE. DON'T DO THIS WHILE IT IS ATTACHED TO YOUR DEVICE.
- Get an outline of the microSD card slot drawn on the back of the bottom piece (I found a tiny outline of extra wear/gunk where the microSD card slot laid on the bottom piece so I used that as the outline.)
- DREMEL TOOL TIME! Take it slow though, you aren't in a rush, are you? If you are. Don't do this. Try to cut out the "common rectangle". What I mean is; You see how the microSD slot is comprised of a rectangle and two half circles? Cut out that rectangle and then sand the sides down to get the half circles.
- Make sure to smooth the edges and flatten out any distorted surfaces.
- Profit.
- Seriously, you're done.
If you do it, post pics!
Anyways, it is 8AM and I haven't slept so I will probably regret this when I wake up. I think I'mma try to sleep, I dunno. :3
