Very accurate. For me, it took quite a lot of sanding to actually fit (got one of the joycons stuck at first), but that's moreso because my printer isn't tuned in very well. Good model. (edited)

Really nice model. Printed with paint-on fuzzy skin on the handles with 0.2mm layer height, resulting in a great feel while using it.

Printed in Sunlu PLA in white. Works pretty well all things considered, although the left Joycon rail is a tad tight. Most likely just tolerances being a bit outta wack.

This one took me a few tries to print mostly due to the shape; I had to add a few raft layers and some extra supports on the grip for better bed adhesion (the "feet" of the controller kept coming off about 5-10% of the way through).

Fantastic. Fitment is basically perfect. I printed in just some generic PLA at bog standard 0.2mm layers and fuzzy skin for added texture. I kept having my handles pop off the build plate even with a 15mm brim so I ended up having to increase the brim until the handles and center piece were attached together (I forget how much but it was 20something mm).

Nice. The left side has a fair amount of resistance, but it's probably due to the PETG warping a little

@Neo_238685 My left is also tighter than my right but it's just that way in general. Be it on this grip, a different grip, or my switch itself the left joycon ends up being more snug than right.

Printed just fine at 0.2mm layer height in PRUSA PETG with a 10mm brim and organic supports on the build plate only. Thanks for the model.
Ohh and the Joycons fit perfectly! Well done.

Printed with Natural color PETG from Polar Filament. Fits wonderfully and has a good weight to it at 15% infill! The joycon click into place. Will have to try and see if transparent filament allows the LEDs to shine through. (edited)
