Nintendo Switch Blade

This was a swift design I conceptualized to create a very low-profile stand that could fit in a standard Nintendo switch travel case. Something slender yet more substantial than the built-in kickstand that would also allow charging while in use and make the device lie a bit flatter for close tabletop use on places, for example. The black one pictured is the first version printed on an Objet 30 pro. But I have since redesigned numerous times for different applications (45 or 60 degrees) and for printing on a high-quality printer or a simple FDM machine. The rundown of each is as follows: HQ is designed for high-quality/high-tolerance printers. FDM Flat, is the Switch Blade as a print in one unit laid out open with 0.5mm tolerances for the hinge pin and 0.5mm between the alternating hinges. FDM 1.75 is the Switch Blade as two separate parts, L and R with a hinge bore of 2.3mm for a piece of 1.75mm filament to become the hinge pin. Then lastly FDM 2.85 is the Switch Blade as two separate parts, L and R with a hinge bore of 3.2mm for a piece of 2.85mm filament to become the hinge pin.
