Compact dock for Nintendo Switch

Also check out the extension piece here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3493357!! This compact alternative for Nintendo Switch dock is small enough to carry in your pocket, making it a convenient accessory for gamers on-the-go. The design is basic yet effective, prioritizing a small form factor that's easy to handle without sacrificing functionality. The USB-C connector is designed to be flexible, allowing the Switch to be mounted safely and securely. To achieve this flexibility, I added a unique flex-mount part that's stiff yet allows for some movement. Feel free to experiment with different designs to find the perfect balance of flexibility and rigidity. I designed this dock to fit perfectly on my own Switch, which features a thick (0.3mm) glass screen protector. However, I recommend making modifications to the design or modifying the dock after print to create a snug fit with your device. If you want to utilize the dock's LED feature, you'll need to extend its cables. To achieve a nice effect, I suggest drilling a small hole in the front part and filling it with translucent hot glue. The LED can also be attached using hot glue. If someone wants to remix an LED-compatible design, I'd greatly appreciate it! To print and assemble this dock, use supports when printing and mount components using small machine or plastic screws. Route the ribbon cable from the top side of the PCB for a clean and professional finish.
