SwitchRider - Vehicle headrest mount for a Nintendo Switch

SwitchRider - A nifty Nintendo Switch holder to let your Switch ride along with you in comfort.

It was common that we drive on hours-long trips and share the Switch. This meant loading and unloading the Switch from its travel case when not in use and, when playing, having the player hunched over the screen in bad posture. This resolves those problems by having the Switch mounted on the seat in front of the player, and at an angle where they can sit straight while playing.

Adjustable rear bracket so that it fits any sized car. Extended and regular arms for when your vehicle has padding next to headrest mounts. Loose clearance on Switch rails so that you don't feel like you're breaking your Switch by sliding it on. Joyconn holders on both sides where you can just slip in your controller when not playing. Sturdy bottom bracket that has a bump-out not just for USB charging, but a larger one to adjust the angle higher for better viewing.

Measure accurately! You can use a combination of the arms. My vehicle was best with an extended left arm and a normal right arm. Measure and determine what works best with you.

Print out the bottom bracket that best works with your height. By turning the bump toward the seat, it can prop the Switch up to an angle that's easier to see.

I'm open to feedback for any changes. I made very slight modifications for looser clearances after the print above, but it should still print fine. Print arms standing up, even though a lot of supports are needed for the longer portions. If you turn the arms then you risk it putting supports in the rails.

Remix all you like, just don't sell!

May 2020 - I just added the TinkerCad OBJ file for anyone to make bigger changes.
