Testing 30 Steam Deck 3D prints in 30 days. Day 27: N64-Style Steam Deck Dock - mini console stand for retro gaming enthusiasts.
🟡 1h 30m print time
🟡 45g filament
🟡 Multi-color modifications
🟡 Tiny: 11-12cm wide
WHAT IT IS:
Mini N64 console stand. Tiny—eleven to twelve centimeters wide. N64-shaped stand for your Deck.
Modified in Bambu Slicer for multiple colors:
• Purple console (matches my transparent purple Deck shell - Funtastic aesthetic)
• White Steam logo
• Black controller ports
• Grey cartridge piece (purely for show)
THE DESIGN:
Deck sits in groove cut through middle. Deck is much wider than stand, so stand is effectively N64-shaped decoration underneath.
Grey cartridge piece goes in back slot—aesthetic only. Helps sell the N64 look.
Went with purple to match my transparent purple Deck shell—reminiscent of Funtastic series consoles. White Steam logo center + black ports either side = N64 aesthetic.
ASSEMBLY:
Five minutes. My modifications meant connectors didn't quite fit holes—closed slightly during printing. Cut them short, glued them in to secure.
Glad I went to trouble of cutting pieces and printing separately in different colors vs. single color. Gives front better aesthetic.
N64 NOSTALGIA:
Grew up with N64. Starfox and Zelda were my games. This design captures that aesthetic.
Have Starfox 64 (ported version) running in background on second Deck in video. Sometimes emulate N64 games.
Without Deck installed: mini 3D-printed N64 on desk. Tiny footprint. Adds retro vibe that goes with transparent purple shell.
PRACTICAL:
Sits securely, stable. Works purely as stand—neat novelty.
For N64 generation who run emulators, retro gaming enthusiasts. Separate thing—you decide if you want this novelty.
Tiny size, good footprint. Conversation piece.
THE VERDICT:
N64 fans: retro nostalgia. Captures Funtastic aesthetic, tiny desk piece.
Verdict: Only If You Need It 🟡
Recommend going to trouble of multi-color cutting like I did.

About:
The Xbox One is a home video game console developed by Microsoft. Announced in May 2013, it is the successor to Xbox 360 and the third console in the Xbox series. It was first released in North America, parts of Europe, Australia, and South America in November 2013 and in Japan, China, and other European countries in September 2014. It is the first Xbox game console to be released in China, specifically in the Shanghai Free-Trade Zone. Microsoft marketed the device as an all-in-one entertainment system, hence the name Xbox One.[17][18] An eighth-generation console, it mainly competed against Sonys PlayStation 4 and Nintendos Wii U and later the Switch.
Moving away from its predecessors PowerPC-based architecture, the Xbox One marks a shift back to the x86 architecture used in the original Xbox; it features an AMD Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) built around the x86-64 instruction set. Xbox Ones controller was redesigned over the Xbox 360s, with a redesigned body, D-pad, and triggers capable of delivering directional haptic feedback. The console places an increased emphasis on cloud computing, as well as social networking features and the ability to record and share video clips or screenshots from gameplay or livestream directly to streaming services such as Mixer and Twitch. Games can also be played off-console via a local area network on supported Windows 10 devices. The console can play Blu-ray Disc, and overlay live television programming from an existing set-top box or a digital tuner for digital terrestrial television with an enhanced program guide. The console optionally included a redesigned Kinect sensor, marketed as the Kinect 2.0, providing improved motion tracking and voice recognition.
The Xbox One received positive reviews for its refined controller design, multimedia features, and voice navigation. Its quieter and cooler design was praised for making the console more reliable than its predecessor at launch, but the console was generally criticized for running games at a technically lower graphical level than the PlayStation 4. Its original user interface was panned for being nonintuitive, although changes made to it and other aspects of the consoles software post-launch received a positive reception. Its Kinect received praise for its improved motion-tracking accuracy, its face recognition logins, and its voice commands.
The original Xbox One model was succeeded by the Xbox One S in 2016, which has a smaller form factor and support for HDR10 high-dynamic-range video, as well as support for 4K video playback and upscaling of games from 1080p to 4K. It was praised for its smaller size, its on-screen visual improvements, and its lack of an external power supply, but its regressions such as the lack of a native Kinect port were noted. A high-end model, named Xbox One X, was unveiled in June 2017 and released in November; it features upgraded hardware specifications and support for rendering games at 4K resolution. The system was succeeded by the Xbox Series X and Series S consoles, which launched on November 10, 2020. Production of all Xbox One consoles ceased at the end of that year.[8]")

About:
DualSense
The DualSense (CFI-ZCT1W) is the PlayStation 5s controller and was unveiled on April 7, 2020. It is based on the DualShock 4 controller that came before it but with an evolution to its design and capabilities influenced by discussions with game designers and players.
There are several differences in the DualSense that sets it apart from previous DualShock controllers:
The DualSense supports vibrotactile haptic provided by voice coil actuators integrated in the palm grips, and force feedback for the Adaptive Triggers provided by two DC rotary motors.[58] The actuators in the hand grip able to give varied and intuitive feedback about in-game actions for example, in a sandstorm, you can feel the wind and sand, and the motors in the Adaptive Triggers supporting experiences such as virtually drawing an arrow from a bow.
The DualSense has a two-tone coloring scheme (primarily white with black facing) and monochrome action buttons, marking the first time the action buttons for a standard PlayStation controller are not colored, although Sonys handheld consoles, the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation Portable, both had monochrome buttons. It incorporates a more ergonomic design that is noticeably bigger, rounder, and heftier than the DualShock 4.[59] The light bar has been moved from the top of the controller to the horizontal edges of the touchpad, with player number instead being indicated by an array of 5 LEDs below the touchpad. The Share button has been replaced with Create with an expanded focus on creating content to share with others.[60]
The controller speaker has been improved, now providing a clearer sound. The controller now also features a dual-microphone array, allowing players to communicate with each-other without requiring the use of an external headset. With the addition of microphones to the controller, Sony also introduced voice typing to the PS5.[60][61][62]
The analog triggers now have a force feedback mechanism, allowing the controller to provide varying levels of resistance to the user depending on in-game actions. An example provided by Sony is being able to feel the tension of a bow string as the user pulls the trigger.[60][63]
Connectivity includes a 3.5 mm audio jack, USB-C, which replaces the microUSB port on the DualShock 4, and copper pins for use with charging docks.[64]
Its battery has been upgraded to a higher-rated capacity.[60]
Also, the black plastic piece surrounding the analog sticks can easily be removed, without requiring any tools.[65]
The DualSense has become a subject of a class-action lawsuit due to a perceived drift in one of the analog sticks, being litigated by the same firm that is challenging Nintendo for a similar drift issue in their Joy-Con for the Nintendo Switch.[66]
Microtexture
The DualSense has a unique microtexture. There are 40,000 tiny symbols (square, triangle, circle, cross) stacked on top of each other. Multiple designs were hand-drawn, digitized, and made as prototypes before the design team settled on the current design. The larger symbols are half a millimeter wide.")
