I was tired of using the standard controller for playing pinball on the Nintendo Switch, so I built this, the SwitchPin! No modifications or soldering needed, just drop in the Joy-Cons and play!

I printed these in Hatchbox PLA on my Prusa i3 Mk3, I'd recommend the quality settings since there's some tight tolerances. Expect to do a little bit of sanding to tweak things to be just right. The springs are from Harbor Freight, they're the 3/8\" x 5/8\" springs from the box set here

It's assembled with M3 screws, I recommend drilling and tapping the frames, the center parts use nuts. I used M3 20mm and 25mm

To keep it from sliding around there's small wells on the bottom for rubber pads. I used hemispherical ones from this pack

I also made a video of the whole project, check it out here

I decided not to sell these, but would certainly appreciate a tip if you find it useful and as fun I we do. https://www.paypal.me/geekytom
