Description

My goal for this model was to allow attachment of a Mechanism Universal Grip to the Steam Deck without the default pressure fit clip or adhesive. This still allows the user to remove it without damage to the Steam Deck or any skins that may be on it. Please note that you use this at your own risk. I used m1.6x8mm torx machine screws to replace the OEM Steam Deck shell screws in these four spots. It would be a good idea to apply blue loctite to these screws as well. The standoffs are needed for the bottom screws to provide structure for the legs to rest on. Otherwise, these screws can be over-tightened and the mount can bow out away from the deck and be under constant physical stress. For print settings, I used 4 wall loops and 33% gyroid infill for all pieces and .08mm layer height for a smoother print. I haven't tested this extensively yet. I take no responsibility for what you crazies do with this (but I do wanna know!)
