Minimalistic Nintendo Switch Charging Stand

thingiverse

Disclaimer: I love Nintendo. They are my childhood, and this does not change that. For my final project in my engineering class I designed a minimalist charging dock to play in tabletop mode. The reason why I decided to do this was because both my teacher and I get something out of it, and it is an example of engineering that requires real world problem solving. The Nintendo Switch has a charging port on the bottom which is a major design because it makes it impossible to charge it in tabletop mode. Nintendo tried to remedy this problem by selling an overpriced charging dock. This remedy is not even worth-it because now you have another bulky unit to carry around. The inconvenience of their anti-consumer decision has inspired me to engineer my own solution to the problem. Both sides of the stand are identical, so just print two of them for it to work. That's why there is only one STL file.
