Nintendo Switch Tabletop Holder

thingiverse

This is a model to support a Nintendo Switch when in tabletop mode. Within the STL file, there is a model for the holder itself and a flat piece which can act as either a spacer or a backing plate.In my application where I have a Nintendo Switch on a raised cardboard box, the flat piece acts as a backing plate. The holder is secured in place with screws to the backing plate placed on the other side of the cardboard. I then cut a slit in the cardboard for the kickstand to sit in to prevent the Switch from moving left and right. If a platform for the Nintendo Switch is used where the kickstand cannot sit in a recess:Using the holder by itself can support the Nintendo Switch without the kickstand being usedIf the kickstand is used, just using the holder itself makes the Nintendo Switch unstable. The solution I have found is to use the flat piece as a spacer. Position the spacer directly below the holder and the Nintendo Switch is stable even when the kickstand is used.
