Description
3MF and STL files of a highly detailed 1:1 scale mockup of the Nintendo Switch 2. Use these files in order to 3D print yourself a model of a non-functioning Switch 2, if you feel so inclined. I'd recommend printing at 0.12mm or 0.16mm for better detail.
None of the buttons or joysticks function but the kickstand works. Also, the Joy-Con can be inserted and removed from the tablet as well as inserted into the mouse adapters, though it isn't a tight fit so it's only useful for temporarily testing how the Joy-Con would feel in the mouse configuration.
The print is fairly easy although the supports that fill in the kickstand area on the back of the tablet were a bit time-consuming to remove so you might want to play around with that support area to see what works best for you. Ensure you fully remove any support material from within the two holes where the kickstand is inserted, before trying to insert the kickstand.
The Joy-Con themselves are printed as two halves which you then combine using three Joy-Con Union Pegs. The Joy-Con rails are attached permanently to the Joy-Con using glue. You also use the Union Pegs to join the Joy-Con Handle and Grip.
I used blue translucent PETG to print the screen (only color I have), which is glued to the recessed area of the tablet. I myself don't have an AMS device, so I printed my model in black and hand-painted the face buttons with white acrylic paint. I placed thumbstick grips on the Joy-Con to make them look and feel a bit better.
