Satisfye ZenGrip Pro - Nintendo Switch Dock

<H1>Description:</h1> <p>As I have been swapping from using the switch in dock mode, and with my Satisfye grips, one thing that has always annoyed me, is not being able to dock without removing and finding somewhere to store my grips.</p> <p>This is probably a fairly niche problem, as it takes only second to remove, but I didn't like how much pressure it put on the JoyCons when putting it back in the grips every day or so, so I decided to just build a dock to support the grips.</p> <p>The dock is made up of 3 main parts, connected by 3+6 screws (M3 x 7mm). It has support at the back to keep everything upright, and utilized the holes in the base of the satisfier feet, to lock it into place. It becomes very secure, and has minimal contact with the actual switch device, instead resting on the grips at the back.</p> <p>There is space to allow the hot air to vent freely from the back, and sections in the base to fill with weights (If you wish), this makes it easier to remove the switch without the dock moving.</p> <p>I added some personal touches, I provided a (Near) bare version of the top, with less "Flair", if you don't wish to print the added insert, or want the front logo (or perhaps you want your own personal logo)</p> <br /> <h1>Assembly:</h1> <ol> <li>You will need to first disassemble an official Nintendo Switch dock (Look online for instructions)</l1> <li>If you chose the P2 part with the optional flair, insert P4 into P2 part now. It should friction clip in, but you can use some hot glue to make sure it stays put. (If your printer is not calibrated as tight as mine was, you may need to modify the P4 part with a little more tolerance <b>EDIT: Added a looser fit option</b>)</li> <li>Remove the ribbon cable from from the spring mount part of the dock</li> <li>Attach ribbon cable to the PCB (Blue tape facing up)</li> <li>Insert PCB into the P1 base, using the 4 Philips screws used in the original Dock</li> <li>If you wish to use the LED, insert the LED into the slot now, and connect it to the PCB</li> <li>Thread the ribbon cable through to P2 top pice, making sure the blue tape is facing the front.</li> <li>Reinsert the ribbon into the spring mount, and close latch</li> <li>Pull Ribbon through the P2 part gently, and seat the spring mount into place (No screws required here, it should clip in firmly, and there are braces on P3 to hold it all firm)</li> <li>Insert P3 into the P2 parts, there are guides to line it all up. Screw in the 3 screws to hold it tight.</li> <li>Lower the P2/P3 assembly onto the P1 part, making sure to fold the ribbon cable so it rests neatly above the PCB, not being pinched under any parts</li> <li>Screw the remaining 6 screws into the base, making sure its tight, without stripping the plastic.</li> </ol> <br /> <h1>Suggestions:</h1> <ul> <li>You can use a little hot glue to make a nice, neat light tube for the LED, which you can trim flush after it dries with an exacto-knife</li> <li>Use 4-6 rubber feet to raise the base, and give it extra grip, this will also have the added benefit of better airflow through the base vents</li> <li>The spring mount has a mechanism to allow it to tilt forward and backwards, The first time you mount it, go slow, and align it right, until it sits in... Once you have done this once, it will light up the next time.</li> </ul> <br /> <h1>Printing:</h1> <ul> <li>Print flat, as the parts come. I did 2 walls, 0.2mm height for faster printing, but would suggest 3 walls min, layer height is upto you, I have done upto 0.3mm height for testing, and it worked fine.</li> <li>Infill: 20% or above</li> <li>Supports: You could probably get away with none, with a well calibrated printer, I used them as my overhangs are not that great for the ports and screw posts.</li> </ul> <br /> <h4>Disclaimer:</h4> <p><i>I am not responsible for any damage to your dock or switch for improper assembly of the parts, If you are not 100% certain of your abilities to disassemble and reassemble the dock, I would suggest seeking help from someone who is.</i></p> <br /> <h4>More to Come:</h4> <p>Working on a version with the PCB at the back for anyone worried about height, or not interested in this style of dock... When will it be available? Who knows, maybe never, depends when I get free time.</p>
