Valve Releases Steam Deck CAD Files, Allowing Anyone to 3D Print New Shells

Valve has released CAD files for the Steam Deck, which is a 3D printed shell that can be used in place of an original Xbox One. This means it’s easier than ever to get your hands on one and customize your console however you please.

Valve has released the “Steam Deck 3D Model” which is a CAD file that allows anyone to print new shells for their Steam Machines.

Valve has published official CAD files for the Steam Deck, enabling DIY enthusiasts, accessory makers, and modders to easily 3D print their own shell designs for the highly anticipated handheld in a slightly surprise but much grateful gesture.

Prospective The files, which comprise a STP model, STL model, and drawings (DWG) for reference, are available on GitLab for Steam Deck users with 3D printers. While Valve has said that Steam Deck users have “every right” to open up and customize their systems, the firm has also stated that any damage caused is not covered under the guarantee.

Valve’s decision to provide CAD data for the Steam Deck is unexpected since Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony are unlikely to do so with their consoles or peripherals. That seems to be particularly true for the latter, which has a history of threatening legal action against third-party manufacturers of accessories like cover plates.

  • Hello! All tinkerers, modders, accessory makers, and anyone who simply want to 3D print a Steam Deck to test how it feels are in luck.
  • The CAD files for Steam Deck’s exterior shell (surface topology) are now available for download under a Creative Commons license. This contains a STP model, an STL model, and reference drawings (DWG). The files may be found here.
  • We’re excited to see what the community comes up with!

  • It’s an unusual business choice, and one that contrasts dramatically with Sony’s policy, which has banned third-party retailers from selling replacement PS5 system covers, forcing us to purchase only Sony-licensed versions.
  • By voluntarily giving the CAD files away, it looks as though Valve isn’t as concerned with such competition and has publicly stated: “We’re excited to see what the community comes up with!”
