Description
This model was inspired by the original design found here on Thingiverse, but itβs been redesigned and fine-tuned for real-world fitment inside SEGA Game Gear shells.
Β
While the original model works great for the right-side speaker, the left side of the Game Gear shell has a slightly different internal height and shape β which often causes fitment or alignment issues when installing upgraded speakers or modded sound boards.
To fix that, this version introduces a custom left-speaker mount, specifically adjusted for:
Β
π§© The height difference and curvature of the left inner case wall
π§ Upgraded stereo speaker mods (such as RetroSix CleanAmp or similar dual-speaker upgrades)
π© A flush, secure fit that keeps the speaker snug without rattling
βοΈ Accurate alignment with the speaker grill for optimal audio clarity
π οΈ Designed for Makers & Modders
Β
Each model was designed with hobbyists and restoration enthusiasts in mind β perfect for anyone refurbishing or upgrading their SEGA Game Gear!
Β
You can print the right and left mounts in standard PLA, PETG, or ABS (whichever suits your project).
π§± Recommended layer height: 0.4 works perfect!
π§ Supports: Not required (both pieces print cleanly on flat surfaces!)
π‘ Test-fit before final assembly β shell variations can exist!
π¬ Notes from the Maker
I designed this updated left speaker mount after encountering repeated fitment challenges while restoring VA0, VA1, VA4, and VA5 Game Gears with the modern retroSix audio mod. The original right-side design fit beautifully β but the left needed extra adjustment to sit level and clear the internal structure.
This revised model corrects that perfectly, creating a balanced and professional stereo sound setup worthy of your restoration project.
