YouTuber Agustin Flowalistik has published a new video this week revealing how he has created a huge 3D printed Game Boy together with a super tiny Game Boy.
The Creation Process
Agustin’s project is a fascinating blend of nostalgia and modern technology. The oversized Game Boy was meticulously crafted using his BCN3D Sigma 3D printing system, a machine known for its precision and reliability. The process involved several stages, starting with the design phase where Agustin used CAD software to create a digital model of the Game Boy. This model was then sliced into layers, which the 3D printer could interpret and build upon.
The printing process itself took several hours, as the large size of the Game Boy required a significant amount of material and time. Agustin chose to use PLA filament, a popular choice in the 3D printing community due to its ease of use and environmental friendliness. The final product is not only a testament to Agustin’s skill but also to the capabilities of modern 3D printing technology.
Details and Features
The giant 3D printed Game Boy is not just a static model; it features intricate details that mimic the original handheld console. From the D-pad and buttons to the screen and speaker grills, every aspect has been carefully replicated. Agustin even went a step further by incorporating a Raspberry Pi inside the Game Boy, allowing it to function as a fully operational gaming device. This means that not only does it look like a Game Boy, but it can also play classic games, bringing a new level of interactivity to the project.
In contrast, the super tiny Game Boy, while not functional, serves as a charming counterpart to its giant sibling. It showcases the versatility of 3D printing, demonstrating how the same technology can be used to create objects of vastly different scales.

More Projects and Inspirations
Agustin’s creativity doesn’t stop at Game Boys. His YouTube channel and Instagram account are treasure troves of innovative projects, ranging from 3D printed sculptures to functional gadgets. One of his notable projects includes a 3D printed replica of the iconic Nintendo Switch, complete with detachable Joy-Con controllers. Another project features a series of 3D printed Pokémon figures, each meticulously designed and painted to capture the essence of the beloved characters.
Agustin often collaborates with other creators and participates in 3D printing challenges, pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved with this technology. His friendly cat, who frequently makes appearances in his videos and posts, adds a delightful touch of personality to his work.
