Gridfinity Handheld Game Cartridge Holders

This model is restricted by licensing terms. 

NOTE: When downloading the model, please click "Download All", do not download any of the converted archives (e.g. 3MF, FBX, STEP, STL, or OBJ versions). You will only get the unprintable illustration model chopped up into unusable pieces, not the actual STLs you need to print.

Display your (handheld) game cartridges in style with #gridfinity storage blocks!

This package contains three models sized to fit three different kinds of cartridges:

  • For most people, the Switch holder will be what you want. It is a 2x1 storage block that displays nine cartridges. Unfortunately I can't find a 3D printing filament that matches the nasty bitterants Nintendo uses on the cartridges. (Recently updated to actually fit all Switch cartridges!)
  • Those who bought into the "touch" era will want to print the DS/3DS holder. It is a cute lil' 1x1 storage block that displays three cartridges.
  • Finally, those who like it oldschool will be pleased with the GB/GBA holder. This 3x1 storage block displays four cartridges. For best results, place taller cartridges towards the back of the block. Rumble Pak cartridges may interfere with the slot in front.

No additional assembly is required. In fact, don't even print the assembly, because it's full of dummy carts and Thangs won't let me update it. Just use the bundled STLs and the cartridges will fit straight into the storage block.

Gridfinity is ©2022 Zach Freedman. Zach recently relicensed to MIT, so that is what this model's license is, too. (If you really want the CC-BY-NC-SA terms, they're irrevocable, but why would you want them!?)

The STL archive here is completely unusable. It's just a ZIP full of 23 identical files named Illustration - Dont Print.stl.

This is why I don't upload assemblies anymore... 😂

I'm assuming you clicked the little triangle next to "Download All" and picked STL. I would recommend clicking Download All instead, since I manually inserted the correct STLs into that archive. Apparently when you download a converted archive from Thangs, it just doesn't include the files that you manually add (e.g. the correct STLs, the licensing information, etc).

I've uploaded a new version of the Switch STL that has better compatibility with some cartridges. I can't update the STEP version in the illustration because Thangs won't recognize the funky part names CADQuery uses. Just don't print the STEP file and you'll be fine!
