3DS XL Charging Base

thingiverse

I carefully crafted this to enable seamless 3DS XL charging, effortlessly slipping into its charging dock without a hitch. It works flawlessly every single time for me. A few important notes: -Tolerances are precision-crafted to ensure exact alignment, so be aware that your device may not fit if you have a case on it, potentially damaging a skin in the process. -Because of its 3D printed nature, this product is slightly lighter than expected. To counteract this, I recommend using two hands or drilling one-inch holes at the bottom and securing them with super glue to add substantial weight until it stays put. I personally use two hands for stability. -My design is shorter than usual, as I thought it would be visually appealing to have some of the 3DS sticking out from the front. However, if this compromises alignment in any way, please let me know so I can make necessary adjustments and reupload a revised version. -The charging cord is cleverly inserted at the bottom and then fed out through the back. I made sure it's tall enough to minimize unnecessary strain on the cable, which worked perfectly for me. If you encounter issues with yours, consider either modifying the model or cutting it out more using a Dremel to alleviate pressure. A gentle push with an Allen wrench or similar tool should be sufficient to insert it flush with the bottom, ensuring the charger remains securely in place. -There's a tiny logo that I painstakingly traced, and I appreciate your acknowledgment of its existence. Unfortunately, it doesn't show up well, but if I were to print it again, I'd definitely make it more prominent on the side for better visibility. -I hope you guys enjoy this design, as it marks my first upload but not my first time printing custom creations.
