I recently upgraded my beloved iPod and just had to make and print some accessories for it. (i.imgur.com)

So as title says I revived my beloved iPod, upgraded its storage and also modeled and printed some accessories for my iPod. I made a TPU case, a dock using the original cable and a storage box.

Everything is available for free on my printables:

Yep you are right, I already did very much of what you wrote. Except the huge battery as in the 30GB model there is not that much more space. I tried to install rockbox but somehow couldn’t get it to work. Even though it was installed on the original hard drive… But It works just fine with my old 2013 MacBook Pro and Apple Music.

You should be able to put a 3000mAh battery in a 5th/6th/7th Generation iPod as long as you get an iFlash board and a Thick Backplate.

Edit: If you want the best place to buy iPod parts, buy them from Elite Obsolete on his website.

Thank you! Yes I know, but I wanted it to look like it was looking back then when I got it :)
