3D Printed Switch Add-ons

Hinged Switchbox

You can also use the Switchbox as a display stand, with the screen propped up on a slot in the case. Best of all, the case is assembled in no time at all. All you need are the 3D printed parts, screws, foam sheets, and glue.

 

Sun Shield

Looking to play with your Switch outside but the glossy screen is preventing you from getting your gaming on? You can 3D print this DIY sun shield to block out the light and enhance your visual experience.

 

The Switch Pail

This might be the ultimate travel case for your entire Switch system. When completed, this 3D print will hold 4 controllers, 4 wrist straps, a Switch console, and up to 10 game cartridges. Basically, this is the case you want if you’re going to travel with your Switch and accessories.

 

SwitchRest

It can be tiring to play in the back seat, especially if you have to hold the console in your hands for a long time. Solution: Print this, slide in the Switch, and start playing.

 

Tears of the Kingdom Dock

A new favorite game for many Switch owners is the “Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom”. With this model, you can give your switch dock a complete makeover with Zelda-inspired designs all around the dock. This model was updated to make it easier to print, separating the side panels from the main body to be assembled after printing.

 

Alternative Dock

This model comes in separate parts and requires eight machine screws, a piece of felt, and the components from the original Switch dock.

 

Crystal Switch Dock

This is definitely the type of print that benefits from a multicolor filament, like a rainbow PLA, with many of the makes showcasing gorgeous prints using these filaments. You can find some great variations in the remixes as well, including a Switch OLED variant and a wall-mountable dock.

 

Charging Stand

This unique print requires support structures in the cable tunnel. The model pictured above is printed in shell mode without infill, though you might like to go for something a bit stronger for everyday use.

 

Portable Charging Stand

This portable stand allows gamers to charge their Nintendo Switch in a more portable and compact fashion. This 3D printable accessory is optimal for users who want to play in portable mode and charge their Switch simultaneously, which the official dock doesn’t support.

 

Adjustable Stand

This multi-piece stand for your Nintendo Switch allows you to adjust the height and angle of your Switch to your liking. While it’s not that complicated to print, it still requires multiple pieces and assembly.

 

Arcade Cabinet

This arcade cabinet-style stand for your Nintendo Switch is a blast from the past! This mod allows you to experience the retro feel of an arcade cabinet with all of your games, old and new.

 

Question Block Cartridge Box

Stylized in the form of the Question Block from Super Mario, this cartridge case is perfect for longtime fans of the Nintendo brand.

 

Pokéball Cartridge Case

This Pokémon-themed cartridge holder can hold eight cartridges and opens with a spring release mechanism. And it looks pretty cool, too.

 

Game Stand

This simple cartridge case holder allows you to proudly display up to 12 games in all their glory. In addition, you can print the Nintendo Switch logo and add it to match the rest of your accessories.

 

Master Sword

The 3D model files include both the sword and the sheath. There are cartridge slots in the sword’s blade, and it can store up to eight cartridges.

 

Borderlands Crate

This is a loot chest that you can find in the Borderlands video game. The maker took inspiration from ChaosCoreTech’s Mini Borderlands Loot Chest, but modified it to store Switch cartridges.

 

Joystick Extender

This is a 3D printed joystick extension that gives the player more control over the gaming experience. The simple component extends the height of the Joy-Con’s joystick to allow for better control as well as more precise analog movement.

 

Comfort Grip

This is a Joy-Con grip mod project. The intention is to improve the console’s handheld comfort so that there are no hand cramps while playing for extended periods of time. To accomplish this, the creator has been upgrading the grip, resulting in many iterations to improve the ergonomics.

 

Joy-Con Drink Holder

The design is pretty self-explanatory: It holds your drink and Joy-Cons in one tidy package. Just be aware that it’s a big item to print and could take a while, depending on your slicer settings. For a safe bet, you could try out the maker’s settings of a layer height of 0.25 mm and supports turned on.
