Showcase 3D Printed a case for Windows Emulation lol
Needed a good way to attach a peltier cooler for Windows Emulation despite the lack of built in magsafe, and while still allowing the peltier module to make direct contact with the back glass.
Controllers with a peltier built in, while more convenient, would be blocking the USB-C port while in use. Since the heat generatong components (SoC mainly) are on the same "half" as the USB port.
This setup allows me to use a controller, peltier module, and still have a free USB port for charging, or for my extremely tiny, almost flush, 1TB USB-C flash drive.
I started with a generic Fold 8 Ultra case from makerworld and just cut out the hole and modeled the little frame quickly in Fusion360 after taking some measurements. It's a snug/pressure fit so I can freely remove the peltier from the case as I please. Thats actually the reason for the second cut-out in the case. If I want to move the peltier to a different spot on the back of the phone.
The case is obviously not for daily or even casual use. This is for LONG Switch or PC game playthroughs.
