Stow Your Switch 2 Pro Controller on This 3D Printed Warp Pipe Stand

Need some themeing for your Mario party? Some decor for your game room? Or just a controller stand with cart storage? This print is for you.

The Nintendo Switch 2 came out last week, and oh boy is it everywhere. If you’re one of the more than 3.5 million people who already picked up the new console, and also snagged a Switch 2 Pro Controller, you might need somewhere to put it. Why not keep it thematic with this print?

This Switch 2 Pro Controller stand by Dave W is shaped like the classic Mario Warp Pipe. Perfectly on theme while the Switch 2 is bundled with Mario Kart World.

Better yet, Dave has improved the model since its release this past Monday by adding a Switch cartridge insert. Now, there’s storage for up to seven Switch cartridges inside the once empty Warp Pipe. And, if you’ve already printed the first version, Dave released a game cartridge insert that slips easily into version one. Very handy.

It’s an easy print, too. Single color, no supports, and should print in about an hour and a half on a Bambu Lab A1 Mini with a standard 0.2 mm profile.

But, if you want something a little different, Dave has also remixed a couple community models to make Bullet Bill and Mystery Block controller stands. They’re multicolor, so you’ll need a multi-material system like Bambu Lab’s AMS. If you want something a little more subtle, there’s a more typical (and single-color) controller stand, too. Unfortunately, these models don’t pack the cartridge storage the warp pipe stand does.

Though the Warp Pipe controller stand was designed for the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, Dave says the original Switch Pro Controller will work too – there’s just a little more wiggle room.

We’ve seen a lot more Switch 2 prints that we really like. Most of them seem to be some kind of adapter, so the Warp Pipe controller stand really stands out. But, if you want to keep the party going, also check out the ergonomic mouse adapter by Rewolf and Docking Station Cover by RedSamy.
