GBA SP and Universal PCB Holder Stand

After constantly working on retro console repairs, I got tired of leaving PCBs laying around the desk, stacked on top of each other, or sliding everywhere while working.

So I designed this simple but extremely practical PCB holder for Game Boy boards.

The main goal was to create something:

• compact,
• easy to print,
• sturdy,
• and compatible with multiple PCB types.

Even though the original design was made specifically for Game Boy Advance SP motherboards, I later tested:

• GBC boards,
• several random PCBs,
• and other handheld console boards,

and many of them fit surprisingly well.

The slots keep each board separated to help prevent:

• scratches,
• accidental impacts,
• short circuits from contact,
• and general repair bench chaos 😅

Keeping the boards vertically organized also:

• saves desk space,
• makes boards easier to identify,
• and improves accessibility during diagnostics or repair work.

Features

• Compatible with GBA SP motherboards
• Works with several GBC boards
• Compact footprint
• Safe PCB separation
• Fast and easy print
• No supports required
• Great for retro repair benches
