Steam Deck Clip On Stand

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
• Flap.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
