Nintendo Switch Dock (Nested USB) Remix
Edit: 2018-04-29:
I've added a couple extra STL's, these are exactly the same but with 2.5mm thick external walls instead of 1.5mm. It'll provide a bit more strength for those that want it.
I remixed Jackalopalen's Nested dock because it was the nicest, most compact one I've seen. I'm not interested in the springy dock, but the nested port is a great idea.
Unfortunately for whatever reason the board in my dock was close but is clearly a different board. The holes didn't line up, it was a bit wider, etc etc.
So I started out tweaking this one and have ended up with almost a complete re-draw of the top and bottom halves. Some of the changes:
- All posts removed. They kept snapping off, and ultimately they weren't needed to hold the board in place.
- I improved the strength of the USB-C out connector posts (the bits that hold the board and the USB-C mount in place)
- Widened a little to allow for the (slightly) larger board
- Changed the screw holes so now it will hold an M3 nut properly. Only need a short bolt for it.
- Little more support underneath the board.
- Widened the LED board holders as it was too tight a fit for mine
- Removed the hole for the LED and instead used a recess on the inside (I printed mine in a luminous blue to allow the LED to shine through)
There was a LOT of minor tweaks to make the board fit. I wouldn't mind making the exterior shell 2mm thick, maybe even 2.5mm to provide a bit more strength. Otherwise it should be fine to print.
I've included the USB mount stl file however there have been no changes to this.
