Nintendo switch dock

thingiverse

Compact but not so compact version of the switch dock. Not really happy with the other dock out there so here is my take on it. Require 4 parts. "dock", "top cover", "enclosure" and "bottom plate". The mirrored version have the USB-C and HDMI connector on the right side of the dock, the "top cover" can be use on both versions. I print it with PLA at 45% infill and no supports Require M2 or 2mm screws : 4x With the spring mechanic (comes with switch already) 6x for bottom 2x on the side Assembly: 1. Push in the "upper plate" with the "dock". There are 2 supporting braces inside the "dock" that needs the "upper plate" to go on top first. The thick end of the "upper plate" face the support and thin side face the notch. 2. Add the original switch dock spring mechanic parts (with flex cable) to the "upper plate" and tighten it with 4 screws 3. Add "dock" with "bottom plate", tighten it with 2 screws at bottom. 4. Put the light in the small slots of the "enclosure". Connect both flex cable and light connector with the board. 5. Add 4 screws to "bottom plate" with some extrusion and put boards in. 6. Tighten the "bottom plate's" 4 screws with the enclosure. 7. Tighten the 2 screws with the "dock" and "enclosure" Notes: * The spring mechanical connector need to have the blue side facing away from the board. * You may need 4x 15mm screws for the "enclosure" and "bottom plate". * The grill on the bottom plate and enclosure are 50mm, feel free drill holes to add your own fans, just make sure fan is pushing air in so it go toward the switch's intake vent too. * Recommend adding stick on anti slip feet to the bottom plate ------- 11/07/2018 updates: Increase the thickness of the front area of the dock. Add a version with the connectors on the left.
