Description

While I was lucky and received my Steam Deck quite early, there was one major problem: I wanted to play the Deck in tabletop mode like a Nintendo Switch. Because of this I created a detachable stand that allows my friends and I to play games while out an about. The best part is you can easily remove the stand so the Steam Deck fits in it's carrying case!

I modeled this from the official Steam Deck CAD files

Features

A compact detachable stand that allows for tabletop gaming with a flap that snaps into place to support handheld gaming as well
Registration marks that align with the screw holes on the back of the Deck to ensure it's in the correct place every time
Ample space around the intake and exhaust vents to not block airflow
Does not scratch the deck, or at least hasn't scratched mine yet and I have taken it off and put it on dozens of times

Part list

Stand.3mf
Hinge.3mf

2 x M3 x 0.5 mm Thread, 6 mm Long

Print Settings and Notes

Printing the body with the brim can help, but not necessary if you have a well calibrated printer and good adhesion with the build plate
If you print with a brim, it does require some post processing removing the brim with an X-Acto knife and light sanding
Refer to pictures for print orientation
0.2 mm layer height or an even multiple of 0.2 mm
No supports

Update

4/11/22 - I have added a stand without a mount for anyone that would like to remix the part
4/12/22 - I have added STL versions of the files
