been using the Pi-Boy on and off for the last couple of months - works beautifully :-)
some things need to be redone though;
- messed up front panel (heat-setting M3-thread *after* painting was a dumb idea...)
- the power button needs a redesign (button-cap is missing)
- have to add a bit material to the back/front to close the slight gap between the two
on a side note: what turned out really well where the ABXY buttons - the combination of the soft-tactile omron switches plus a coat of epoxy feels just right while playing :-D
the way i build them was:
- print the button-piece (one part, all four are connected by a bridge - to ease assembly) with the letters indented
- fill the letters with acrylic paint
- put a drop of XTC-3D (some other epoxy might work too) on top to form a slight dome
