3D model description

This is a remix of a remix of a remix, I think. I don't know where the original was, and I'm not even sure which one I started from, but I suspect it was one of these:

--https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4285366
--https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4355453

I made a few changes to those designs. First, I removed the bridge across the plug. My wife didn't like it, as she wasn't going to run the cord under the stand. Next, I widened the spot where the plug sits, because if it's coming in and out, it needs more room. After that, I made it a little farther from the back board to the plug cutout, as my wife and I have our Switch Lites in cases, and needed that extra room. It's 8mm between the planes of the back and the plug cutout.

My wife thought the original design was a little tippy, so I lengthened to base, without changing where the Switch sits, making it a little "fatter" of a foot, but more stable.

I thought that the cord was a little tight under the base, so I made it 7mm in stead of 2.

Finally, my wife suggested some cut outs to store stuff in the back (as other people have done), so I put in 5 slots for cartridges and a little well for storing miscellaneous stuff.

Oh, and if you hadn't noticed, I did not add the New Horizons leaf theme to it. Not because I didn't want to. Both my wife and I play it, so it would have gone well, but I couldn't find a good image to use to "carve" it into the back.

I've included both the STL and the Fusion 360 file. Please keep in mind I'm not a Fusion 360 expert, and I'm sure there are things I could have done better.
