Download Free 3D Model jgr526’s Nintendo Switch Grip v2A fixed 3D Print Model
Summary
I printed out several of jgr526’s great NS Grip designs. I found v1 and v3 to be too bulky that reaching the shoulder buttons is uncomfortable. v2B is too slim and less grippy. v2A is perfect. There is however one problem—the model is mostly split in two halves; see the slicer image below.

I left comments but the designer seemed to have ignored them. So I fixed this issue with Meshmixer’s Make Solid function. The original designer jgr526 does not allow remixes, although this is really not a remix, and I believe it benefits the community. If jgr526 is reading this and wants it removed, I will comply and happily offer my fixed version to be included on your Thing page.
MAKE SURE TO READ PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS. There are subtleties.

25%
Notes:
I printed it in PLA. There are a few important notes:
For an exact fit, scale to 99.5%. 100% will be a loose fit.
I added electrical tape to the slots’ inside for scratch guard and friction. 99.5% and taped gives a tight fit and the Switch is mostly held in place with friction which I like. I suspect 100% taped give an exact fit without much friction but didn’t try.
The contact area is small. Be sure to use a 4mm or so brim otherwise first layer detachment is likely.
Print at higher (205-210) temperature for stronger bond.
Use support at 65 degrees or so for the rounded bottoms.
