I need a battery cover for a Gameboy Pocket DMG, (off white)

[lpoolm]

so i have bought a faulty gameboy pocket dmg which i will clean up/fix
i think it looks great, been after one for a while but it does not come with a battery cover, searching ebay/chinese websites there is no option for the "off white" version.
Does anyone have any ideas where i could get one. I am uk based but expect to have to import from somewhere.
thanks

You might be able to get one 3d printed.

Alternatively if there is a white one you can probably dirty it up/stain it a bit to create said off white.

i have seen white, not sure if i can "yellow" it up a bit?

Staining plastics is a bit annoying but nothing too major. There are existing dyes/stains or you can try to make your own. There might be a local firm that can handle something as well, and have some better gear.

You might even be able to ask for some scrap of that colour to test with if you do get it 3d printed, or if the vendor has had some returns/defective things they want to get rid of.

I forgot to mention last time https://www.stlfinder.com/3dmodels/Nintendo-GameBoy-pocket-battery-cover has some stuff that looks like it will work if you did want to go the 3d printing or CNC route.

Here is a picture next to an original gameboy, I think its close enough
