Here is a personal mod for the dock of the Nintendo Switch.
I'm confident in the version uploaded since it took many iterations, but if you find a flaw or something that can be corrected please let me know.
It was designed In order to prevent the infamous screen scratch made by the front lid of the Nintendo Dock. No need to damage or alter the original pieces provided in order to change the lids. Original screws can be used with this model, as a bonus I added 7 cartridge holders so the games could be exhibited when not used.
This model currently has 3 presentations: A Nintendo Switch logo, a plain blank model for the ones who prefer to paint a custom design and a model containing joelbot from 3D Printing Nerd.
You can find the timelapse of the print here: Var.Projets Timelapse
I recommend Spawn Wave's video for reference at taking apart the dock: Spawn Wave's video
or if you prefer there is also this iFixit link (dock section starts at step 22)
This model came as inspiration from AY @amazingyen: AY´s model
The challenging part of this print is cleaning the support on the cardtridge spaces, it should vary depending on your settings and preferrences in the support pattern.
I recommend printing in the direction shown in the slicer (cardtridge holder view facing the build plate) in order to have the screw pillars, the led support and the connecting labels as clean as possible.
Also, if the light diffuser doesn't fit smoothly please sand it a little and it should fit just fine.

No need for any supports if you print at .15 and have it on the angled face.
