Hacking Show us your Jig!

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

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).

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 :rolleyes:), 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?

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

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...
