still won't brick your 3ds or nand chip. new bad block will be remapped same as others.if you're writing directly to a cell in that second, even SD mode (mmc, etc) can corrupt the block, and create a bad crc, that could render the block segment dead if a physical failure. It's much safer than SPI mode, but still.
Is it possible to do this without any soldering? My solderer broke about a week ago and I really want to test this out! Also, maybe someone here could make a tutorial and parts list on this, that would be extremly helpful. Thanks!
i had an even better idea, i assume the XL comes with a cradle too right?

No, but they exist.
Good old dremel, lol. I have a Black and Decker "rotary" tool that works well. The metal cage around the 360 motherboard on the old "fat" models were cut with that same tool. Amazing how much you can do with it. Fine cuts on plastics, great for case mods (many devices, not just a 360. I HIGHLY recommend people look into those for cutting plastics, metal, and even wood with the right attachments.i had an even better idea, i assume the XL comes with a cradle too right?
so why not put 4 gold pins on the bottom of the 3ds , then add some spring pins like on an old cordless phone base built into the cradle going to either a usb connector, or mini or micro usb connector in the back of the cradle or just have a cord coming out the back of the cradle going to the sd card adapter ,use a dremel to make some fine slits on the back plate of the 3ds for the pins , and to drill out the cradle holes for the spring pins ,then when you want to do a dump you jusy set the 3ds /xl on the cradle
