Nintendo Switch 2 accessory keeps French fries, bringing me joy

In an unexpected turn of events, a creative gamer named user7R135 has designed a novel accessory for Nintendo Switch 2 gamers - GamiFries. This 3D-printed snack holder is designed to keep your fries close while you play, addressing the issue of gamers potentially neglecting their food and even having them stolen.

The latest addition to Nintendo's Joy-Cons 2, the "mouse mode" for the recently released Mario Paint on Switch Online, finds an unusual counterpart in GamiFries. This innovative accessory is designed to hold a medium-sized McDonald's fries box, magnetically attaching to the Joy-Con controllers using the console's magnetic connectors.

The creation of GamiFries is reminiscent of some of the weirdest game consoles, such as the Chicken McNugget console and the KFConsole. However, it's important to note that GamiFries does not have official approval from Nintendo or McDonald's.

To print GamiFries, you'll need a 3D printer, 120g of red PLA filament, magnets, and superglue. The Bambu Lab A1, known for its accuracy and clean prints with PLA filament, is recommended for this project, as it ensures a precise fit for the GamiFries design.

The GamiFries design is a downloadable free model from Bambu lab's Maker World site. It requires no special adhesives or assembly beyond printing. The need for precise fitting and magnetic integration makes a high-resolution printer like the Bambu Lab A1 or similarly capable devices essential for producing this model cleanly and reliably.

Currently, no official commercial sellers exist for GamiFries, so owning a compatible 3D printer or access to one is crucial to create this novelty accessory. It's available in two versions: controller and handheld.

While GamiFries offers a fun solution to a common problem, there is a potential concern about potential grease on the Joy-Cons due to the GamiFries design. As with any DIY project, it's essential to use the accessory responsibly and clean it regularly to maintain the Joy-Cons' quality.

In conclusion, GamiFries is an open-source invention that could potentially be added to the list of best Switch 2 accessories. It's an innovative solution for gamers who want to enjoy their fries while they play, without the fear of them going missing. So, grab your 3D printer, some PLA filament, and start printing your GamiFries today!
