Nintendo Switch - Ergonomic Grips

cults3d

Update 17/07/19: I've been meaning to print and paint myself a new pair of grips for some time now, and based on my own impressions using the originals, plus some new insights, I also wanted to improve on a couple of things with the design itself. The most notable change is the expanded brace which now covers more of the back of the console, further improving on the less than secure connection between the Switch and the Joycons. Consequently, the kickstand can no longer be unfolded to access the sd-card without first removing the grip. Personally, I don't see this as an issue but be aware nonetheless. Also noteworthy, compared to the original the grips now print at an angle which might seem a bit odd but I've found that this makes a big difference printing the otherwise horizontal overhang, especially if you're using Curas 'Support Interface' feature which I highly recommend (you can read about it here: https://ultimaker.com/en/resources/52663-support ). The only other changes made are some slight tweaks and refinements contributing to a better fit and a somewhat more refined model directly of the build plate. One last thing that I've added besides the models for the grips is a test piece for tuning the support settings, saving both time and material. Update 22/06/18: Upon request, I've included a slightly larger version of the grip.
