v6 -Nintendo Switch Dock Cooling Mod 3D print model
I designed this mod to help feed the Switch with colder air than what was being pulled from the heated box where the warm circuit board was located. I was able to get about a 15 degree drop in air temps going INTO the Switch. Combine that with the already cooler air going into the other port and you have a very effective cooling mod.
- V6 reduces material used a little, less circuit board contact, increased tolerances, and easier installation
- V3-V5 were internal builds
- V2 adds some stability to the part from being crushed or sagging top to bottom
The mod is 100% removable, and requires NO cutting, NO soldering, and leaves NO traces of its existence behind after removal. If you damage your dock, just take the mod out, and pop it into your new dock. THAT'S IT! Almost TOO easy, isn't it! You're welcome!
PRINTING: This should be printed with the slotted end down, and the opposite end up in the air. For supports, ONLY print using supports from print bed only, otherwise you'll end up with supports INSIDE the model, which are not necessary, and not worth the extra work to remove them. I print mine at 60mm/s, 2 walls, and 2 top/bottom layers.
- Do we have to pay for just the STL file?!?!
- As opposed to what?
- what is the recommended plastic material, whether PLA / PETG / ABS?
- PLA is fine
- already purchased the stl, however the 3d printing store confuse on how to print it could you email me the printing guidance pls
- The part with the slots and the round cutout should face up, like a tower. Supports from the BUILD PLATE ONLY.
- the build is still too thick. cant fit properly
- Then whoever is printing it needs to calibrate their printer. The model on here is the exact model I used when printing them for my eBay customers. It also has tolerances built into the model, to make it slightly forgiving for printers that aren't near perfectly calibrated.

- ok tks
- Is the STL file setup in mm or Inches? (metric vs imperial)? Going to get this printed locally in New Zealand :-)
- Evening I do is in millimeters :D
- How many grams of filament will be printed by this?
- Gladly paid for this. I wish you a happy new year, thanks for your work.
