Joy-CAD

Recreations of the Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons created with Fusion360.

Purpose

I created this repository because I noticed a lack of available models for the Joy-Con's shells. These models are intended for individuals who want to 3D print their own Joy-Con shells or create new models based on existing ones.

Contribution

These models are not perfect, and I welcome contributions from anyone with CAD experience to improve their accuracy, functionality, and efficiency. I would greatly appreciate the submission of 3D scanned models, accurate measurements, and modifications to existing models.

Known Issues

There are several problems with these models:

  • The models have not been completed tested, so they may not fit correctly.
  • The .STEP file is messy.

Work in Progress

Not all of the Joy-Con shells have been modeled yet, but they will be added soon.

Snap-Together Design

During the assembly of 3D-printed shells, screws can sometimes become tightly bound, making them impossible to remove. This poses a serious risk, especially for inexperienced Switch modders. If a part breaks due to incorrect assembly, it becomes difficult to repair without damaging the Joy-Con, potentially cutting wires or causing the battery to explode. To address these issues and simplify the repair process, a snap-together Joy-Con design is being developed.
