the whole thing was basically held together with duct tape at one point, and the shell’s paint is peeling
Yeah, sounds common on 3DS. I have a Majora’s Mask edition n3DS XL, its paint started flaking on edges for normal use only a year or so from getting it.
Got a free new shell (correct golden colour!) from support back then, so there was that at least. After that I encased my 3DS in a clear rubber protection so the paint doesn’t wear off again. But those rubber things don’t age well and start getting an ugly yellow hue after a while.

The paint flaking off is what annoys me about the N3DS XL the most. They were this close to the perfect 3DS in my opinion, and then they cheaped out on the shell. It’s aggravating.
The rubber is starting to go on mine too though. It’s not too bad but it’s still getting there.
