What is Docky?

Update: 8/12/2020

• Fully redesigned in Fusion 360 better dimensions/tolerances all-around.
• Added USB-C support to the bottom cover
• Increase the size of the light fixture for easier installation
• Added metroid, paper mario, splatoon squid, and a few zelda logo designs
• Included full docky plain which is how I normally print this with supports at 20% infill, pillar resolution is at 4mm and overhang is at 45deg.

Important

Extruded and Plain body models differ in size and the lids for these are also different sizes for each of these so make sure you print the correct lid based on the body model you choose.

Plain & Recessed Body Lids are to be used with the docky plain and docky recessed body models.

The Extruded Body Lids are to be used with the Extruded Body dockies.

The bottom lid is universal for all docky variants.

Update 12/23/2018:

• Uploaded all new files I made a mistake and uploaded the wrong files in my previous update the only file that had the correct dimensions was the smash bros docky, my apologies.

What did you use to build this model?

I used Fusionto make this 3D model.

Instructions on how to open your Nintendo Switch Dock

Installing the Motherboard in Docky

• You should have all 3 Docky components
• Place the motherboard and fold a piece of the ribbon and put it under the usb ports so when you secure the motherboard the pressure keeps the ribbon in place. Secure the motherboard in the bottom Docky component with 5 screws.
  
  
• Place the led board into the crevice in the bottom component and apply some pressure until it's pretty firm.
• Place usb-c port and tighten the 2 screws.
• With the bottom component fully assembled insert the side with the HDMI, usb and power ports into the top Docky component first, apply a little pressure.
  
  
• Proceed to insert the other side with the 2 usb ports by lifting a bit the plastic so you can slide the bottom Docky component into the top component.
• Tighten the bottom Docky component with 4 screws.
  
  
• Install the cover by placing one end into the top Docky component and then sliding the other end until it seats firmly.
• Your shiny new pocket size Docky is ready to go.

I want to make changes/improvements to Docky what do I do?

Awesome, just clone this repo make your changes and submit a Pull Request so I can add it as another version. I am not a professional 3D artist so I'm sure there's a lot of improvement that can be made to the model so any help is appreciated.
