Description

[update 09-09-2025] I adjusted the buttons for the volume/power to fit a little better, after getting some feedback. I also added a notch on the power button to make it easier to identify

Introduction

A Switch 2 version of my Retro TV inspired case! This version brings along with it a couple of improvements, and a slight adjustment to the hardware. The main big improvement, besides being able to accommodate the Switch 2, is a built in compartment with lid for storing accessories. Previously this compartment was just left wide open!

For the hardware, I adjusted how I handle magnets. Using a magnet on one side and a screw on the other, so you don't have to worry about the polarity of the magnets and matching this up. This does mean that you need to stick with the Bambu Screws. I've tried self taping screws from sources on Amazon, but they weren't the right sort of metals to work with magnets.

Filaments & Hardware

Bambu PLA Basic Brown
Bambu PLA Metal Iridium Gold
Bambu PLA Matte Charcoal

Hardware:

14 x M3x8mm Self Tapping Screws (Designed to specifically fit the Bambu screws)
8 x D6x2mm magnets

[Assembly]

We’ll start by inserting 8 M3x8mm self tapping screws. These will be the base for the magnet covers to fit to.

Next we’ll insert the 3 control buttons for the power and volume. The power button is slightly ever so longer than the volume ones (I've added a notch on the power button to help identify it from the others), so take note as you insert them. Once the buttons are in place, insert the retaining bracket to help keep them there.

We'll use 4 M3x8mm Self Tapping Screws to attach the back

For the front panel of the TV, we’ll use 2 M3x8mm Self Tapping Screws to attach the knobs, and we’ll insert 4 D6x2mm round magnets. They should be press fit, but you might want to add a little glue to help keep them secure.

For the storage panel we’ll do the same as the front panel, using 4 D6x2mm magnets. They should be press fit, but you might want to consider a little added glue for added security.

Last but not least, we’ll put the panels into place. And that's it!

Model printed great, just waiting on the self tapping screws to arrive. Thanks for updating this to work with the Nintendo Switch 2. I agree with @personaspace that the buttons may be too short, I am scaling the Z axis to 110% as they suggested and will try again. I know that the power button is longer and I made sure to assemble it properly, will see if longer buttons fix my issue. I posted a few accessories for this print and linked back toward your project, hope you don't mind! https://makerworld.com/en/models/1768536-accessories-for-retro-tv-nintendo-switch-2-case#profileId-1882371

Nice on the added accessories! I've updated the power/volume buttons after the provided feedback. :)

@printerpug

can you make a fallout terminal version pls

The designer has replied

@Josheh_3D

Ohhh. I'll look into that. That'd be a fun idea!

@printerpug

Replying to @Josheh_3D :

how is that going.....

@SteveKeller

My faceplate doesn't stick to the M3 bolt as well as it did with magnets on the old model... I think it may be better to press fit magnets on both sides of the print and abandon the self tapping screws.

The designer has replied

@Josheh_3D

Are you using the Bambu screws? Have you tried backing them out a little too, to make sure the magnets are making contact? I did a version that'd fit the common self tapping screws I've found on Amazon, but those screws weren't so magnetic, I found out. With the Bambu screws, they've been working for me in a number of applications, including this use. I could do a version though that'd just be press fit magnets all around.

@SteveKeller

Replying to @Josheh_3D :

I'm using Amazon screws, I will make sure to order some from Bambu when I need a supply refill!

@wickedwalker

can't we magnetize the metal at home same way we do screwdriver bits? major difference is metal composition sure. but that would be as simple as seeing which brand at ur local hardware store stick to a magnet (found a couple aisles over lol)? like rub a strong magnet on the screws head in the base before slapping the faceplate on there and see if it helps revitalize the magnetism or maybe im all the way wrong and our amazon screws suck lol

@personaspace

Neat print but I'm finding that the buttons are too short to actually press the buttons on top of the Switch 2 unless I shim it up, but then I risk covering the speakers or putting extra pressure on the system itself.

The designer has replied

@Josheh_3D

Ohh. Interesting. Do you have a value in mm you might suggest? I'll take a look and see.

@personaspace

Replying to @Josheh_3D :

I scaled the Z axis on the buttons to 110% and that’s done the trick without any added pressure on the switch or print itself

@Josheh_3D

Replying to @personaspace :

Thanks for the info. I got the buttons updated and they're fitting a bit better now.

Excellent model. Had to scale up the top buttons to 110% and the magnet hole tolerance is super tight, but otherwise a real fun project. Use a retro NSO controller to really sell the effect.

@Gib.H28

what usb charger are you using?

@WilliamSheltar

Thats so cool
