Description
A custom variation of the official Comfort Grip with a wider, contoured grip. This is an easy multi-part print with integrated rails and latches - no need to dismantle a functioning comfort grip to make it work.
I also have a custom comfort grip in a similar shape to the original. See:

And the a basic connector can be downloaded for free. See:
https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/nintendo-switch-joy-con-connector
The connector is straight sided like the original and available in standard width (41.5mm), medium (51.5mm) and wide (61.5mm)
The grips are wider, thicker and more contoured than the original and is more comfortable for larger hands. They are provided in the three widths. Make sure you print the correct connector/grip combination.
The grip and connector are printed separately. Both parts are printed vertically as currently orientated.
The rails on the connector are very thin (~0.7mm) and still may be too tight straight from the printer; they will need some sanding to perfect the connection (printing the part separately makes this easier). I recommend taping sandpaper to a flat surface (180 grit is fine). Don't overdo the sanding. You want the controller to attach and detach smoothly without sticking or wobbling.
Use Super Glue to join the connector and grip together. Registration pins are provided to ensure correct alignment. You will need two pins. I recommend sanding the two adjoining surfaces before gluing.
