Hacking Show us your Jig!

[Ohex4455]

Because nobody in my area has a 3D Printer i'm going to try and make one out of plastic by cutting it or maybe wood but i think it would break easily. just have to experiment lel

You could use an online print-service (pin version). In germany i.e. Conrad Electronic/trinckle.com, Rapidobject or sculpteo, I just uploaded fail0verflow's 3D file for the paperclip version at trinckle and it would also cost around 6 bucks. Would take some days to deliver though.

Simple and effective

Bonus points for the first person to make a custom joycon that comes with a physical button to replace the "jig".

would be pretty difficult because i already looked into it but the solder joints inside the joycon is so incredibly small that you would probably not even able to solder a wire to them. Atleast for me too tiny but there are probably people who can do it

yeah, figured if I was gonna sell some I should really make my own design as the original was a bit clumsy and the thingiverse version is not supposed to be used for resale

i have buy one on ebay yesterday

The wood I used was slightly flimsy when it was cut thin. To counter it I used a thin layer of epoxy and some junk mail paper that was somewhat rigid on the first model. In the second model (third pic) I was just more careful with the cut and used the thin layer of epoxy. It was almost perfect but as I said my dog chewed it up (thing is I still can't figure out how he got to it in the first place).

Willing to ship to the US? Or give me the eBay item and add the no hassle world wide shipping option :-)

I saw that on ebay! $4.76 + $6.80 shipping to the U.S. made me pass on it.

Just so you know I can do them cheaper directly on gbatemp as I avoid fees etc (and I'm charging a little extra on eBay, as I'm sure at least a handful of buyers will claim to have not received it and get a try for a refund ), anyone else want one just inbox me on here and I will sort you one out for a better price

hey there, can you send me a "better price" offer as pm please ? i am located in germany for calculating the shipping costs

According to fail0verflow, shorting pin 9 and 10 on the switch won't work, but it seems to to working for me fine. Can anyone else verify that pin 9 and 10 works?

Yeah... Everyone. But may not be as consistent

Oh it's you? Well I just ordered one of ebay before I read the message. Not a biggie xD

Had fun making this one. Used a dremel to hack up a couple layers of plastic. Simple.

 

[GyTe]

I'm going to perform mine today or tomorrow with 3D printer... But honestly I like even the physical switch on joycon.. I'm familiar with soldering and won't be a problem at least for me... Otherwise even the paperclip seems to be a good solution... let see...

 

[MrGizMo]

Anyone from NL has 1 for me ?

Thanks to @gamesquest1 for the jig, and thanks to Amazon Japan for the awesome portable jig carrying case!

I'm now all set for OTG RCM.
