Docky - Pocket Sized Nintendo Switch Dock V2

Disclaimer I'm not responsible if you damage your Nintendo Switch or dock, so proceed at your own risk. With that out of the way. What is Docky? Docky is a custom 3D model you can print and use as an enclosure for your OEM Nintendo Switch Dock's internal components. Update 12/23/2018: I uploaded new files, but I made a mistake and uploaded the wrong ones initially. The only file with correct dimensions was the Smash Bros Docky. My apologies. Update 12/09/2018: I fixed size tolerance on all ports for easier installation and better fit, made it taller to relieve stress on the USB-C cable, added USB-C support to the bottom of the lid to relieve stress on the port without screws, and created themed dockys: Smash, Triforce, Triforce Bird, Shieka, and Nintendo Switch logos in both extruded and carved versions. Update 5/9/2017: I added Docky no cover versions, Docky with no hinges, and no need to use the cover. (This was a user request; I'm not sure about stability on this model and haven't printed it. Use at your own risk.) Update 5/1/2017: I added power LED indicator and front bevel to switch docking area, rebuilt 3D model from scratch with better proportions.

Place the motherboard, fold a piece of ribbon and put it under the USB ports so when you secure the motherboard, pressure keeps the ribbon in place. Secure the motherboard in the bottom Docky component with 5 screws. Place the LED board into the crevice in the bottom component and apply some pressure until it's firm. Place the USB-C port and tighten the 2 screws. With the bottom component fully assembled, insert the side with HDMI, USB, and power ports into the top Docky component first, applying a little pressure. Proceed to insert the other side with 2 USB ports by lifting the plastic so you can slide the bottom Docky component into the top component. Tighten the bottom Docky component with 4 screws. Install the cover by placing one end into the top Docky component and then sliding the other end until it seats firmly. Your shiny new pocket-sized Docky is ready to go. I want one, but I don't have a 3D printer. You can use online services like Shapeways, i.materialise, Sculpteo, or 3D Hubs to print your Docky and have it mailed to you. I want to make changes/improvements to Docky. What do I do? Awesome! Just clone this repo, make your changes, and submit a Pull Request so I can add it as another version. I'm not a professional 3D artist, so any help is appreciated. How can I contact you? Your best bet is Twitter: @benmarte
