Thanks. <img src="https://chipmusic.org/forums/img/smilies/big_smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="big_smile" /></p><p>@Kitsch: My local hardware store sells dremels for about 120 bucks, which is a bit steep at this point I think. I&#039;ve spent a lot of cash on other stuff recently so it will have to wait. :S</p><p>Soooo... I think the most viable option right now is to just use a file, as Apeshit suggested. <img src="https://chipmusic.org/forums/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p><p>Thanks guys! <img src="https://chipmusic.org/forums/img/smilies/big_smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="big_smile" /></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>kitsch says:</i></b><p>there is a dremel bit thats made for removing grout from between tile</p><p>works wonders on stuff like this (more heavy duty materials).&nbsp; but it works REALLY well so keep good control and don&#039;t let the dremel get away from you.</p><p>if you go to a decent hardware store that has dremel parts, they should have two or three sizes of this style bit.&nbsp; its my &#039;go-to&#039; right now.&nbsp; love it.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>my.Explosion says:</i></b><p>Hello there people. <img src="https://chipmusic.org/forums/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p><p>(I gather this belongs in this section of the forum since this is applicable for general knowledge too, my case is concerning the Game Boy but I&#039;m also asking just as general advice.)</p><p>So. My latest Game Boy mod was to install a small silver bat switch that can toggle the backlight.<br />I planned pretty meticulously for it but... in the end I ran into a little drawback.</p><p>The drawback in question is that the front PCB doesn&#039;t sit well anymore because the switch housing is a tad bit thicker than I first imagined.<br />But just below where it&#039;s caught is a corner of the Game Boy&#039;s front PCB which is the upper right corner (when looking into the Game Boy screen).<br />And I&#039;m sorta thinking if it would be possible to safely just cut that corner out. It doesn&#039;t seem to have any wiring across that corner so it should be safe to cut it out right?<br />And if I&#039;m going to do this, what is a good tool for cutting PCB, I know it&#039;s not elastic at all so actually just cutting it out with a pair of wirecutters is definitely not going to work, it will probably crack?<br />And if anyone thinks this is a stupid idea I won&#039;t do it, just asking for right now and future reference. <img src="https://chipmusic.org/forums/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p><p>I searched around for this but didn&#039;t really come to any straight forward conclusion.<br />Thanks in advance. <img src="https://chipmusic.org/forums/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p>]]></description>
