Remixed a charger case into a stand!

Hi everyone!As most of you here, I was printing some cases for my charger of the steamdeck. However, I couldn't find a case that both held my cable in a normal way (not pressing it in a small case) and have the ability to be used as a stand as well.

So I took the design of u/strider460 (https://www.printables.com/model/202185-steam-deck-carrying-case-insert) and made the EU equivalent including a place that can hold the steam deck!

Instead of full size SD cards, my model can hold 3 microSD cards. (Depending on your print settings it might need some reshaping the insides of the slots).

Hopefully it is of use for the EU people around here!

What is a Steam Deck?

Steam Deck

A Steam Deck is is a handheld gaming computer developed by Valve, the company behind the popular digital storefront Steam. There's a dedicated subreddit for the Steam Deck itself if you want more information.

Quickstart for designing 3D models for the Steam Deck yourself

Valve has shared the CAD files of the Steam deck under the Creative Commons license in a dedicated repository. This includes a step and an stl file, making it easy to create your own designs around it.

You can use your favorite CAD software to start creating models. Once you finished your (initial) design print it out using a 3D printer to test if it all fits as expected. If it does, I recommend sharing it on any of these websites:
