DESCRIPTION

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.

Nice model. Still not tested if it really decreases temperature, but it surely print and fit nicely inside the Nintendo Switch Base.

The V6 is good quality in my 3D print. It's worth $3 to get your switch much cooler in the docker.

Very nice little device. No issues with print. My switch runs much cooler after I take it off dock, it’s usually hotter. Thanks midnight for sharing

My Switch is noticeably loud in the dock during longer play sessions and I did not like how hot it felt if I took it out. Printed this and noticed a huge difference! The air feels cooler outside the top vent and the back of the Switch isn't as hot. Highly recommend!

Printed well using the settings the creator suggested on my Ender3. after a bit of cleanup the piece fit perfectly into the dock housing and doesn't rattle or make any noise. Haven't seen a performance boost for some games but the switch definitely runs cooler with the mod. Great work :)

Works as intended. Sadly I’m still getting significant lag in Breath of the Wild while docked so I guess heat wasn’t my problem.

Perfect fit! Easy to print and install, hopefully it extends the life of the Switch by keeping it cooler. Thanks!

Pretty crazy how people are complaining about the price: I'd have readily spent $10 on the file alone. After printing the file, installation in the dock was incredibly clean and easy as stated. With this mod combined with a thermal mod + repaste of the Switch itself, I was getting temperatures as much as 10 degrees lower than my previous measurements (internally). That huge difference, and it's thanks in large part to this mod: now my Switch never goes beyond pleasantly warm, even when docked! Keep up the excellent work!

Turned out great. I need to work on my 3d printer settings but turned out great. Fit perfectly in the switch.
