(not the new switch lite... sorry). It really is as close to comfortable as you can make the switch in its portable configuration. Here's what I changed

-Tilted 10 degrees back. I love that the original doubled as a stand, but it held the screen straight up and down, so I opted for a slightly better viewing angle.

-Added a pocket for a small power bank. I used this one:

This effectively triples battery life.

-Included cable management so that the switch can be charged on the go. I used this 90 degree cable:

-Added slots for 5 cartridges, giving you the ability to take 6 games with you without a separate carrier.

-Added a leg in the back for stability (and to improve print quality without using a ton of support material.

I included STL and gcode files. The gcode is for PLA on a prusa MK3s and takes about 17hrs with the included settings.

Notes:
Print first layer nice and slow or you'll end up with spaghetti from the support layers. Print standing up with supports (I set overhang threshold to 40 degrees). It fits diagonally on the mk3 build plate when rotated about 40 degrees.
