Nintendo Switch Game Card Piranha Plant Case

I originally used the Question Block Card Holder (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2705238), but while traveling I noticed it has the propensity of opening and the cartridges falling out.

Due to this, I designed this nintendo switch game cartridge/card holder.

Originally I thought about creating just a box or tube, and then it clicked me, why not the nintendo mario pipe? So I did that.

When designing the cap, I realized having a piranha plant in motion would be cool thing to have, so I derived it from the yonatanorion (https://www.thingiverse.com/yonatanorion/about) design.

For coloring, I used Canvas and Pallete 2 (link here for colorized version of cap: https://share.canvas3d.io/projects/aaa7ec0b10baaf78daf409ebf937d055)

The leaves in the piranha plant cap also work as a screw stopper, preventing the cap to be screwed too deep in, so that's cool.

These are the included stl's:

• PIPE_CARD_HOLDER.stl
• PIRANHA_PLANT_CAP.stl
• PIPE_CARD_HOLDER_WITH_PUSHUP.stl

For a working set, you only need to print PIPE_CARD_HOLDER and the PIRANHA_PLANT_CAP. These are quite trivial to print and no supports are needed.

The PIPE_CARD_HOLDER_WITH_PUSHUP is a bit trickier to print, since the internal cartridge holder allows to be pushed up with your thumb, allowing for easier retrieval of the cartridges. You might need to print it at 0.1 or after printing, detach the base by hitting it firmly with a blunt object (rubber hammer perhaps?).

See pictures to see the differences.

Let me know if you like this design, or any modifications you'll like added.
