This is a remix of the Nintendo switch travel dock from CAD_is_my_Bane. 

Just like his design, this dock takes the internal from a Antank/SIWIQU switch 2 dock, and make it into a more compact form factor. 

This design opt to retain the capability of directly docking the switch on the dock, and have the following improvement comared to the Antank / SIWIQU design:

  • A larger cutout that allows docking a switch 2 with slim protective shell or switch 1

  • Folding support to help keep the angle of switch console align to the USB connector

  • Vent cutout under the switch, allow console to dissipate heat normally

And despite this was made to be dockable, you can still use a USB C extension cable to get more freedom on where you place your switch. 

I also tried using USB C coupler ( female - female connector ), and learned that these coupler somehow does not work - it will still charge the switch, but no video signal is going through.. So if you want the wire connection you will still want to get a usb extension cable. 

To assemble you will need the following parts:

  • The mainboard and doughboard from Antank / SIWIQU dock

  • The button clicker from the Antank / SIWIQU dock

  • Original screw from Antank / SIWIQU dock - including the panhead with washer for the board, and the panhead case screw 

  • 2 x  6d - 2in finish nail

First install the button clicker from the Antank / SIWIQU dock, to the same location on the Base. t

Using the USB and HDMI connector, line up the main board of the  Antank / SIWIQU dock to the Base, and use the board mounting screw to secure the main board.

Slightly bend the ribbon cable and secure the daughter board onto the angled raised platform with same mounting screw. 

Use 2x 6dx2" finish nail as axle, secure the support flaps onto the top piece. 

Use the USB C connector hole as the guide, slide the top piece onto the base, then use 3x  case screw to secure the top to the base. 

======== update ========

Added a fixed support top model per request.

Un-tested since I can't think of a best print orientation..  Please try it out to find which orientation work best for you.
