5 Amazing Nintendo Switch Hacks You Should Consider

Nintendo Switch Hacks: 3D Printed Charging Stand

Nintendo won’t win any awards for the port placement on the Nintendo Switch. Every port, it seems, is in a bad place. That includes the down facing USB Type-C port. Putting it here allows users to easily dock, but it’s a nightmare for charging. You can’t use the console’s kickstand and charge at the same time. That is, you can’t unless you make your own Nintendo Switch Stand.

Thingiverse has a 3D printing file of a Nintendo Switch docking stand that’ll allow you to both use and charge your Nintendo Switch without a television. Those that have a 3D printer can get going in minutes. Anyone that doesn’t have a 3D printer can send the necessary files over to a service and have the stand printed and shipped to them. There are semi-official solutions for this too. The Hori Nintendo Switch Charging Stand costs only $12.99 on Amazon.
