Genius or grease trap? A new 3D-printed accessory for Nintendo’s Switch 2 is designed to hold a batch of McDonald's fries while you play.
The creator, who goes by the name “user7R135,” published the accessory on MakerWorld as a 3D-printed model, which was spotted by The Gamer.
“It's the world's first fries holder for your Switch 2. Never choose between eating fries or gaming again,” user7R135 wrote about the "GamiFries."
The creator also published a video that hypes up the accessory. As you can see, the GamiFries peripheral spans three pieces: a pair of “adapter” connectors and a plastic red case styled after McDonald’s fries holder.
The accessory can be used in two ways: “Controller Mode,” where the Joy-Con controllers directly attach to the McDonald's-like fries holder, and “Handheld Mode,” where the accessory connects to the console screen and the controllers in one large package.

Although GamiFries is not available for purchase, the 3D model is open source and free to download, making it possible to replicate it for 3D printers. That said, the accessory requires 24 small neodymium magnets, which allow the Joy-Con controllers to attach.
The GamiFries join a growing array of 3D-printed enhancements for the Switch 2, which, following its launch in June, might have become the fastest-selling console ever.
