I designed and 3D printed a protective shell for the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. The goal was to protect the controller from dust and scratches — especially since I often keep my controllers on display.
The shell closes securely using magnets embedded in both halves of the case. They hold firmly and keep the shell tightly shut without any wiggle.
I've already made similar shells for the 8BitDo SN30 Pro and the GameCube controller. Eventually, I plan to make a custom protective shell for every Nintendo controller in my collection.
The print was made using PLA on an FDM printer. I’m planning some small ergonomic improvements, but even now it works really well for its purpose 🙂

It’s like a leather suit for my pro controller
how damn big is your hand that it makes the controller look miniature
Keeps controllers on display… Covers them completely in a case. May aswell just… Not have them on display and then no need for the case…

Does that work with those slim covers for the analog sticks?
Joining the flight against UHC Group!
A condom might offer better safety 🙂
Ohh nice! Are you planning to share the stl at all? And do you have plans to make the same for 5he pro controller for the switch 2?

Damn this is a great idea. I wish I had a pair of these for my Hori Stick Pad pros… they dont fit in any case on the switch itself and throwing them bare into a backpack sucks….
That’s awesome! Do you mind sharing the STLs?
Where did you get the 3D model of the controller in order to design a case around it?
So its safe when you throw it when you get blueshelled again at the finish line
Mmmm, green M&M. Must bite that….
lol this is the ultimate “little brother/player 2 controller
That looks great, and I think that would be beautiful to display if you chose to. Really impressive.
I would absolutely buy one of these from you.
