Nintendo Switch Sideways/Vertical Folding Grip

thingiverse

---REUPLOADED DUE TO COPYRIGHT--- This is a portable folding grip that turns your Nintendo Switch on its side. I use it mainly to play DS games on my Nintendo Switch, though there are a couple Switch games that would use this functionality. The grip is roughly 3/4" thick (22mm), 4 1/2" long (12mm), and 1 1/4" (32mm) tall. I used M3 nuts and screws to piece the thing together. I would give the Joycon rails tighter tolerance, but the earlier prototypes were stripping the paint on my Joycon, so I went for a looser fit instead. This was printed in ABS (265 C Hotend, 115 C Bed, 70 C Enclosure), but it works just as well in PLA. I just wanted something I could accidentally leave in a car (or leave with my nephews and nieces) that I trust wouldn't break. Edit: Changed the design a little bit. If you don't know which files to download, get The two joycon rails (long and short) and "OnSwitchLEFT". This is my preferred setup. v1- 2021/07/21 Original Design v2- 2021/07/22 Changes: Moved holes so that the first rail to swing out is on the "top" side of the Switch. Altered "OnSwitch" to be used on either left or right rail of Switch This only changes the direction the screws face On "OnSwitchLEFT", IF the part is mounted to the left rail, the screws face toward the user, and away if mounted to the right rail. On "OnSwitchRight", IF the part is mounted to the right rail, the screws face toward the user, and away if mounted to the left rail. Added locks to Joycon rails (so they don't slide out) Added indentations to accommodate for volume buttons on both Joycon rails Renamed rails from "Left" and "Right" to "Long" and "Short", with the names respective to screw distance. Added zipped files to skip wait time, as well as to separate revisions. v2.1 2022/02/03 Changes: Fixed hole spacing on V2.0 that made it impossible to fold. It should now be able to fold properly.
