My weird little Nintendo Switch clamshell

Thanks to Trade Coffee for sponsoring. Get your first bag free when you subscribe at drinktrade.com...
I decided that I missed my leverless controller when I was playing portably, so I affixed it to my Nintendo Switch. This is my laptop-style Nintendo Switch Clamshell. I guess you could call it a mod?

just a quick sponsor video FYI, you shouldn't make 1:1 ratio syrup for a couple reasons: it dilutes the drink more than it should, and most importantly, it spoils. FAST. It MUST be refrigerated. 2:1 sugar:water does not spoil. Make 2:1 syrup, folks.

Slowly but surely we’re working towards building your ultimate fight pad controller dock. Can be used to dock handhelds or be connected on its own to a TV for some casual multiplayer. The all in one machine.

[@kill_repeat8491]

This whole video is a flex. I also think I'm watching these videos 50/50 for the ads. Ad companies could take some pointers.

[@3up3rn0va]

That is a cool idea! I got a leverless on Amazon for like 60-79 bucks and it’s awesome I play a lot of fighting games on mine! I have also been playing games like TMNT Shredders Revenge and Sea of Stars

[@MisterSouji]

This is the only channel where I care more about the ads than the content of the video.

[@1fareast14]

2:27 I literally clicked on this to see if Bob was still using tinkercad. I hope he will save himself some pain, even Freecad in its janky state would be preferable to this. Hacking in your own fillets is dire.

[@alecdavidson5445]

PSA FYI: The STL files need to be modified for newer Snackbox Micro cases since the left hinge is obstructed by the small plastic loop.

[@DarkLord61636]

This could not possibly have come at a better time for me. I just got a 3D printer, have been looking for a project, and recently started using my beloved snapbox micro on switch but haven't been able to make my specific use-case feasible. Then poof, this video appears. Thank you!

[@o0mrrobot0o26]

This is so cool! Damn now I'm gonna have to go tinker with my printer. As a fellow maker I suggest looking into a larger format printer for bigger projects. Maybe an Sovol sv08 or build a trident/2.4 for big projects. I wish Bambu had a bigger printer but they don't atm so I wound up building a Voron Trident 350x350mm and I print all kinds of hit boxes.

[@Bemoraul21]

This is beautiful!!!! I want it

[@fennsk]

For 2.0: a usb-c hub on the back, so you can charge while playing. A full on dock feels like it would be overkill, but maybe you could make that work, too.

[@miguelferrazcosta]

Bob should open a coffee shop and work there as a barista who knows tech things.

Maybe there's a way you could incorporate a couple of spare joycon rails (or print them on) into the build to click the switch right on

I‘m sad Bob could have brought a little „you‘re tired“ yell in the coffee app like i‘m used to 😂

[@XoaGray]

This is really cool. I've never used one of those controllers, but they're interesting. I wonder if this could be adapted for a controller with a joystick. (Like maybe one with a removable stick that could be stored somewhere else on the device when folded or something).

Hey Bob, love the content as always! The handheld gaming scene is heating up in 2024, and I’m stuck between the Steam Deck OLED and the regular ASUS ROG Ally. For your next video, could you do one of your awesome comparison videos to help us figure out which one of both is more worthy in 2024? Your reviews are always on point and super fun to watch.
