I took 3 hours to do the first one and 30 minutes on the second. This is such a cool skill to learn, especially for when the stick starts drifting. Thank you so much man. I honestly wanna do it again because it was so satisfying to get it right.

If it starts to drift you probably wont need to Open the Joy con at all. You need to buy cleaning spray for electronics. Make sure the Joy con is turned off and you spray on joystick under the little Shell of rubber. Turn the stick around in all directions to make sure the spray goes everywhere it needs to go. Then wait for 2 hours. After that you can calibrate the joycon in the settings and it Probably works perfect again👍🏼 try that first before you buy a new joystick I bought a joystick totally unnecessarily.

They do make a little bit of a difference and I'd recommend using the aftermarket spring! Hope that helps!

The fan grates broken and I don't know how to get the faceplate off or where to get a new one. So I'm thinking of either attempting resin or 3D print at my friend's house, but I'm not really confident I can fix that part. might be worth just saving some money and buying a new one and giving the other one to my partner. I'm modding the dock using d-brand skins and a few weird ideas I had with the LED dock attachment. But won't know if it will work until I've tried it.
