Testing 30 Steam Deck 3D prints in 30 days. Day 20 MILESTONE: Two-thirds complete! The Steam Deck OLED Stand - functional design meets customizable aesthetics.
π DAY 20 OF 30 - TWO-THIRDS COMPLETE
β 2h 30m main stand
β 41m bezels/backers
β 150g total filament
β Modular customization system
MILESTONE REFLECTION:
Twenty days, haven't missed one yet. What I've learned: there are so many ways people set up their Steam Decksβsome solutions are bespoke to them. This stand gets that philosophy.
CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS:
Color backers: Orange (LE match), Purple (LCD shell match)
Bezel options: Black with orange, Grey with purple
Steam Deck icon shows through in your chosen color
Atari 2600-style retro bezels: Sandy brown (early 2600), Black ("Vader" model vibes)
Tool-free swapping: pieces sit inside each other, easy to change
FUNCTIONAL FEATURES:
Fan vent cutout aligns with Deck's intake fan (~1cm clearance). Genuinely functional airflow, not just aesthetic.
Cable routing cutout keeps USB-C clean. U-shaped adapter works greatβtape or glue it in place to keep it secure.
Viewing angle perfect for docked gaming at desk. Pairs excellently with docks like Genki Covert Dock. Stable, no wobble, easy placement and removal.
DESIGN QUALITY:
Matte black filament looks professional. Layer lines disappear. Came together nicelyβfeels premium, not just 3D printed.
ASSEMBLY:
Backer sits loose inside bezel, bezel sits in stand cavity. No tools, no clipsβstays put but swappable. Glue if you want permanent.
SUPPORTS:
I printed with supports (designer says support-free). They came off easilyβmaybe could've skipped them, but didn't want to risk it.
COMPARISON:
This combines minimalist functional design with customizable aesthetics. Far more versatile than purely aesthetic stands. Best stand I've tested so far.
THE FINAL STRETCH:
Ten days left. Week 4: Complex builds, prints with magnets and screws, extra parts. Day 30 will be the most complex build of the entire series.
Verdict: Worth Printing β
Simple, functional stand that you can make your own with clever customization options.
What should Day 30 be? Drop finale ideas below! π

About:
The PlayStation VR2 (PS VR2) is an upcoming virtual reality headset for the PlayStation 5 home video game console developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment set to be released February 22, 2023.[2][3]
History
Sonys first PlayStation VR was released in 2016. Sony announced the PlayStation VR2 for the PlayStation 5 at the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show.[4][5]
A release date of February 22, 2023, and a retail price of $549.99 was announced in November 2, 2022 at the official PlayStation Blog.[6]
Hardware
The headset will connect to the PlayStation 5 console with a single USB-C cable.[2] Unlike the first generation PlayStation VR, which tracked player movements through an external PlayStation Camera, the PS VR2 will track movements by four cameras mounted on the headset.[2][3]
The PlayStation VR2 will have an OLED panel with a 4K display resolution.[2] Each display will have a resolution of 2,000 x 2,040 pixels.[3] The headset has two inward-facing eye-tracking cameras. It uses eye-tracking to enable games to use Foveated rendering, a performance optimization technique where the render resolution of the game is reduced in areas where the player is not looking.[3]
The PS VR2 will also feature the new Sense controllers.[2] The features of these controllers include the same haptic feedback and adaptive triggers of the DualSense, as well as some limited finger tracking.[2]
PS VR2 cannot play first generation PS VR games. Sony explains that this is because the PS VR2 was designed to deliver a truly next-generation VR experience.[7][8]
Games and content
More than 20 games are in development for PS VR2 from PlayStation Studios and third party partners, including Resident Evil Village, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners β Chapter 2: Retribution, No Mans Sky, Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxys Edge, Demeo and PS VR2 exclusive Horizon Call of the Mountain.[9] Gran Turismo 7 and Beat Saber were also confirmed in January.[10]
Reception
Early previews have been positive.[2] The Sense controllers received acclaim from CNET.[3] The lack of backward compatibility, and the price of the headset received mixed reaction.[11][12][13][14] PSVR2: Best Tips for VR Motion Sickness](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/B39xRZ6u8vc/mqdefault.jpg)

Playstation Now in Australia? This is what Australians think of PS NOW...
β‘οΈ Watch the full video of NEW PS PLUS EXPLAINED HERE:
https://youtu.be/tGX8rKjmAT0
PlayStation Now (PS Now), was a standalone video game subscription service developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The service offered cloud gaming for PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 4 games that could be played on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Windows computers. In addition, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 4 games could be downloaded to play locally on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.[2] With the expansion of the PlayStation Plus service to offer additional tiers in May-June 2022, the standalone PlayStation Now subscription was shut down, but its services were incorporated into the PlayStation Plus Premium tier.[3]
No games could be downloaded to a PC.[4] Downloaded games could be played without an internet connection, but internet connection was required for verification every few days.[5][6]
Non-PlayStation devices required a DualShock 3, 4, DualSense, or any XInput-compatible controller, such as an Xbox gamepad, to use the service. If members intended to stream their games, Sony recommended that players have a minimum of 5 Mbps internet connection to achieve good performance.[7]

History
PlayStation Now was announced on January 7, 2014 at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show powered by technology from Gaikai.[8][9] At CES, Sony presented demos of The Last of Us, God of War: Ascension, Puppeteer, and Beyond: Two Souls, playable through PS Now on Bravia TVs and PlayStation Vita.[10] The closed beta began in the United States on January 28 with PS3, and on May 19 was extended to PS4.[9][11][12]
To implement the service, Sony created a single motherboard equivalent to 8 PS3 console units into a server rack to allow the games to function, as opposed to software emulation, due to architectural complexity.[13][14]
PlayStation Now was launched in Open Beta in the United States and Canada on PS4 on July 31, 2014, on PS3 on September 18, 2014, on PS Vita and PS TV on October 14, 2014, with support for select 2014 Bravia TVs coming later in the year.[12][15] At Gamescom 2014, SCE announced that PS Now would arrive in Europe in 2015, with the United Kingdom to be the first European country to access the service.[16] On December 24, 2014, Sony announced that PlayStation Now would expand to the other electronic brands.[17]
On CES 2015, Sony confirmed that PlayStation Now would arrive in North America on PS4 as full release on January 13, 2015. On March 7, 2015, it was revealed that PlayStation Now was accessible in Europe.[18] Official beta invites for Europe started going out to PS4 owners on April 15, 2015.[19]
On February 17, 2017, Sony announced it would discontinue PlayStation Now on PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation TV, Sony Bravia televisions (modeled between 2013β15), Sony Blu-ray players and all Samsung televisions by August 15, 2017.[20]
On September 20, 2018, Sony announced that users on PlayStation 4 would be able to download PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 4 games offered via the service as Sony started to gradually roll out the new feature to subscribers.[2]
On January 23, 2019, Sony announced that the service would be launching in Spain, Italy, Portugal, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden later in the year. A beta for these countries launched in early February[21] and the full service launched on March 12, 2019.[22]
On April 22, 2021, Sony announced that support for 1080p streaming would start rolling out during the week.[23]
Games
PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 4 games on PlayStation Now could be streamed to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC. As of 2020, there were over 800 games available, with over 300 of them available for download to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. New games were added every month.[15]
After a 7-day free trial, there were three pricing options available for the subscription service.[15]
A separate subscription fee for online multiplayer was not required for PlayStation Now games. The three pricing options gave access to both single player and online multiplayer components.[15]
Availability
PlayStation Now was available in Europe (including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom), North America (Canada and the United States), as well as Japan.
