Nintendo Switch Portable Comfort Grip - Honeycomb Shell With lock button

PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION ON MAKERWORLD (https://makerworld.com/en/models/202541), ALL THE FILES ARE AVAILABLE THERE.

UPDATE: Fixed a difficult overhang that caused print failures in the honeycomb model!

EDIT: Added another version: the body has been emptied and honeycomb pattern holes on the surface, print with supports as in picture 3!

Remix of Nintendo Switch Portable Comfort Grip by Halasox (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3440526).

The original design was great but it lacked of a way to disconnect the joycons from the console, so I added a hole and a pin in order to press the button.

Supports are needed only in the 90° overhang that supports the bottom of the joycon, so you can add support blockers in any other place. That part and the bottom of the handle always printed with a rough surface even with support interface enabled (see last picture) and I wasn't able to improve it, so if anyone has suggestions please comment!

Print the pin vertically (rounded top up) and keep the same orientation of the STL for the Grip body. Insert the pin by forcing it inside the hole. Once through it should not fall out.

The STL files are for the left JoyCon but you can mirror it in cura to obtain the right one (same goes for the pin since it is slighly asymmetric).
