Modified Nintendo Switch Single Joy-Con Grip

**UPDATE** I recently discovered a key difference between the original file's +Joy-Con and the -Joy-Con, which may impact your printing experience. If the +Joy-Con doesn't fit perfectly for you, consider mirroring the -Joy-Con design instead of printing the +Joy-Con (the symbols will not align). I plan to address this issue in a future update if time permits. I encountered an issue with my printer when attempting to print the joy-con grips, and scaling adjustments within Cura didn't produce the desired results. To overcome this challenge, I modified the attachment mechanism slightly, which significantly reduced printing time and filament usage. For reference, I've included the gCode for my prints and test prints. To generate the testing gCode, I followed these steps: I oriented the model in Cura as usual (see the first photo). Next, I set the z-height to -10mm. Using the layer view, I identified the layer at which the attachment mechanism ended and the actual grip began (see the second photo). Finally, with the post-scripting Cura plug-in, I paused the print at that specific layer. Please note that my testing has been limited to the -Joy-con model so far; I will provide updates as I test additional models.
