3D Print - Hinge Fix Part (Original Screws)

3D printing template for replacing the original hinge mounts on the 550c. This part has been verified to work in the 550c's modified housing.


3D Print - Clutch Cover Clips - Unconfirmed

If you have a 550c, chances are that the clutch cover under the LCD has broken clips. Here's some new ones you can print!

Do not use the hinge fix part itself from this link though. It is missing a couple of cutouts for some structuring, which is why I linked Action Retro's modified version instead. The replacement clips are fine though!

Further info on the finished supply (page 7 of this restoration thread)

Same guy from the restoration thread. Tutorial thread and 3D prints for building a new power supply that uses no original parts from an OEM one.


3D Print - 500 Series Battery Shell

Battery shell blank template. Print this, and use it alongside an original cover with some weights inside so it feels like it's got batteries installed. This part has not been confirmed to fit in the 550c, but they really should as I don't believe that the 550c's batteries were any different from the rest of the lineup.
