Printing “Nintendo” on the device has got to be a bad idea, right?

If you plan to sell it, yes. This is a DYI project.

Per their project page in 2024 they were taking orders to create the shells. Maybe there’s a loophole that exists where the housing is exempt because the internals are DIY.

In any case, money was involved.

Haven't there been a lot of individuals being legally warned to stop making/selling/distributing modded hardware?

This one seems different in that the barrier for entry is pretty high, plus the actual finished mod is not intended to be played very heavily.
