Folding Nintendo Switch Stand with Filament Hinges

First of all credit to the source author(s) for the nice design. The [source remix](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2438395/), all the way back to the source design, printed the hinges in place. Very cool. However I had trouble getting that to work and supports were also needed which always leaves a surface blemish. So I modified the design to use filament as a hinge. The filament hinge idea came from [another switch stand](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2174545/). The modification allows the stand to be printed flat rather than on it's side and requires no support. Filament is pushed through and the ends melted to make flat heads which keep them in place. Melting is done with a flat headed soldering iron. Leave 2-3 mm of filament and press the flat tipped iron onto the end. With a steady hand you can get a nice flat head on the end of the hinge pins. Do a few practice runs first.
