produced a few great videos detailing this build, and one awesome video detailing how to print multicolored faceplates for this charging dock.
You could use a buck converter, but at 0.4 Volts, you’re probably better off going with the ‘aaay yolo’ theory of engineering. If you want to keep everything within exacting specs, you could add an LDO linear regulator, but there might be issues with heat dissipation. There is a slight issue with the charging voltage in this setup the 3DS charges at 4.6 Volts, and USB provides 5 Volts. A regular ‘ol USB cable is scavenged, the wires stripped, and the red and black lines are attached to the spring-loaded slider. Normally, adding contacts requires pogo pins or hilariously expensive connectors, but has an interesting solution: just add some metal contacts constructed from LED leads or paper clips, and mount it on a spring-loaded slider.
All you do is apply power and ground to these contacts, and the 3DS charges. For this, turned to the small charging contacts on the side of the console. Printing a box is easy enough, but the real trick is how to charge the 3DS without any special tools.
created this charging dock for the New Nintendo 3DS as a 3D printing project, with the goal of having everything printable without supports, and able to be constructed without any special tools.

The Switch is the new hotness and everyone wants Nintendo’s new portable gaming rig nestled in a dock next to their TV, but what about Nintendo’s other portable gaming system? Yes, the New Nintendo 3DS can get a charging dock, and you can 3D print it with swappable plates that make it look like something straight out of the Nintendo store.

So after waiting the better part of a month for my mint condition 3DS to arrive from the land of the rising sun, I set out to explore the wide and wonderful world of Nintendo 3DS hacking.Ĭontinue reading “Exploring The World Of Nintendo 3DS Homebrew” → Posted in Featured, handhelds hacks, Interest, Nintendo Hacks, Slider, Software Hacks Tagged console hacking, console modding, custom firmware, emulation, homebrew, nintendo, Nintendo 3DS, Retroarch Of course, that’s never stopped me before. I knew the hardware was identical, but could the firmware be changed?Īn evening’s worth of research told me the swap was indeed possible, but inadvisable due to the difficulty and potential for unexpected behavior. Then one day I noticed the average price for a Japanese model was far lower than that of its American counterpart. In short, this was the worst possible time for me to decide that I finally wanted to buy a 3DS. I’ve certainly made more expensive mistakes. Whether it’s COVID keeping people indoors and increasing the demand for at-home entertainment, or the incredible library of classic and modern games the system has access to, the fact is that a used 3DS in good condition is worth more today than it was when it was brand new on the shelf this time last year. While putting the 3DS out to pasture might have been the logical business move, a quick check on eBay seems to tell a different story. Of course Nintendo’s focus on the Switch, a hybrid device that blurs the line between console and handheld games, undoubtedly played a part in the decision to retire what could effectively be seen as a competing product. Which is not to say the product line had become stagnant: the system received a considerable mid-generation refresh, and there was even a more affordable variant introduced that dropped the eponymous stereoscopic 3D effect, but nearly a decade is still a fairly long life in the gaming industry. For one thing, some variation of the handheld system had been on the market since 2011. When Nintendo officially ended production of the 3DS in September 2020, it wasn’t exactly a surprise.
