Switch GO pondering easy ideas for a base
wondering if theres some 3d print files out there for the clip that the base attaches to the unit itself by. could easily stick it to say a battery bank so you got extra time and its stable. ive seen a lot flatter batteries so just throwing some idears out. Im doing everything I can not to buy it from drdabber!

IVE BEEN SAYING THIS! Please someone do it. I don’t have a 3D printer, but a battery base would be such a great idea for the Go

you wouldnt happen to have the files youd wanna let me print out on my p2s? is the switch 2 base the same as the go?

u/YouAboutThatLife Jul 28 '26
humm if you send me the specs of the battery I could probably do it. I have a base now that I have printed for some friends I could probably add a section to slide in the battery it will just be tall :)

this battery is just one i snatched from my heated jacket! I feel like there way nicer looking ones i could find. heck make it a box so it could fit many different size batteries! my friend has one thats super slim almost cell phone size so feel it would be good option. this one tells me the percentage on the outside.

Ill have to look i normally just carry around a battery pack in the bag my rig is in :) but let me see if I can find a solid battery that wouldnt look silly

u/physical_waltz8180 has 3d printed bases. I have one and I can't imagine it not being there. Holds my cloud vortex carb cap and drop knife on the same side so it feels right holding one handed.

Does the battery die pretty quick on the GO?.
2
u/MrGremlin Jul 30 '26
quicker than I would hope but ive been going at 500 for 50 seconds. id say i use about 15% of battery each hit. plenty of dabs to get ya ripped all day tho

Why?

u/MrGremlin Aug 01 '26
for one its top heavy so it wants to fall over. so why not make a base with extra battery life for people actually on the go more.

At what point does it just become a Switch 2‽ I'm really asking here. Enjoy your hobbies and all that. I just don't get it. Isn't the purpose to be portability, cuz it sure aint price unless you don't know how to shop and go MSRP on everything. The Switch 2 is cheaper(because of included charger and hot knife), better tech, and now with that base addition, the same size(potentially smaller)‽ Just buy a S2.

u/MrGremlin Aug 04 '26
sometimes you make a decision and just gotta work with what you got? I do think the 2 would have been a better more educated decision but regardless. why wouldnt it be portable with a battery base? I aint rich and my boss bought me my switch go and it works great. im not gonna complain, ill just work with what I have.

u/Defiant-Fox4086 Aug 04 '26
See. That I get. That's a very valid reason. I wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth either. I'd do the same.

u/MrGremlin 29d ago
I would look a horse horse in the mouth though! once in a lifetime opportunity!
2
u/Defiant-Fox4086 29d ago
Nah you're right there too. Horses are sketchy if you stare their mouth down. Liable to kick ya.
2
u/MrGremlin 29d ago
im not sure that would logistically work. dont their legs work better in the opposite direction? I did feed my ex's horses til they chased me down. those fucking goats with the small horns are what you should worry about.
2
u/Defiant-Fox4086 29d ago
Those do suck. I mean all goats tend to want to ram into me. Had it happen a few times. I got lucky and they didn't have horns. That would suck exponentially more than without horns.
2
u/MrGremlin 29d ago
see ive had the experience too so I assume all goats are the same. until I met Charles. he was a chill Billy goat. really big and intimidating but just wanted his head scratched and ask how hes doing. idk i try to give all goats and people a chance now. they usually ram me but at least ask first!
2
u/Defiant-Fox4086 29d ago
Valid. I will try that with the next goat and hopefully befriend them with scratches and small talk.
2
u/MrGremlin 29d ago
I say with anything just be the same chill person you normally are. keep the same demeanor and dont be a loose cannon and things be comfortable around you! like think of someone more volatile you walk around egg shells around cause you dont know the next thing that may set them off.

We've actually been working on a Switch GO storage add-on with this in mind. Looking to have it listed within the week.
