Nintendo Switch Dock Wall Mount

I have a projector set up and most equipment hooked up to it is fairly out of reach. It hasn't been an issue so far since I would only infrequently reach up to change a disc. However, with the Switch needing to dock to charge and how often I switch between docked gameplay and handheld, it became quite bothersome. So I designed this mount to hold the dock onto a wall.
It's held up by 3 screws. It allows you to remove the dock without removing the mount, if necessary. There is room both on the sides and in the back for proper venting. The mount seems to adequately hold the dock and Switch weight with no concern. With my design you do lose the bottom side USB port and LED indicator. These were of no concern to me so I made no effort to work around them, but if there's enough interest, I suppose I could just snip part of that side out. However, I'm sure it would be easy to do on one's own as well.

Note: My paint job is crap because I am bad at painting. :)
** WARNING: Be sure your middle screw does NOT protrude past the bumper around it otherwise you will LIKELY SCRATCH YOUR DOCK. I used a flat head screw for the job. No issues.
