Ahead of the Steam Deck release date, Valve lets users 3D-print their own custom shells for the portable console

[Redaktion]

Valve is urging 'tinkerers, modders, accessory manufacturers, or folks who just want to 3D print a Steam Deck to see how it feels' to have a go at the portable console's CAD files it uploaded on GitHub. With the surface topography files, fans will be able to 3D-print their own custom Steam Deck shells to compensate for the single black color version at launch.

Not sure if that's a great idea - the plastics need to be heat resistant to avoid exhausting toxic fumes during gaming. Potential lawsuit incoming.
