I modelled and printed a custom mount for my portable monitor for my deck, it’s surprisingly comfortable to hold
The NexDock works, too.
Partially related, I do wish they had a Steam Deck SKU with 32GBs for heavy MC modpacks, as it stands the only way to get it is by replacing the soldered RAM, quite the risky upgrade…
Oh well, maybe on the SD2I have payed better mc mod pack and it ran pretty fine, I play allot of vanilla tho and it runs great, 32 render and sim
This looks to heavy. My solution was to hold up the screen with a tablet arm but i ended up giving it away cause I don’t game in bed.
I would never do this but it is fucking amazing. Great job!
Mine is docked in a utility cart with a 27” monitor on top 70% of the time. I love these ideas 🤣
Haha yeah I figured why not ay XD
Maybe I could do this for my Switch 🤔
I considered doing this for a bit, but with the power and link cable requirements for the travel monitor, I decided against it. It was too much cordage in too small a space.
But glad it worked out for your needs OP!

Any chance you’d be willing to share the STL? I have a 16 inch portable monitor as well and I kinda want to try this when my new printer arrives.
Honestly, I recommend hoping on tinker cad and tinkering with a design, I’m not 100% happy with how it is and I’d like to make some edits, that IMO is the best part about 3d printing…
Hop on thingiverse, download a stl for a steam deck clip, upload it to tinkercad and build it off that initial model exactly how you need it, my monitor has some weird geometry on the back of it and I had to account for that…
Tinkercad is a very easy and beginner friendly tool available online for free, it’s just shapes, and if you want to figure out how to do something there is always a short video on how to do it. Also as previously mentioned, you can download any stl file(s) and customise it how you need it… good luck fren
The steam deck has a screen built in, right?
Yes.
XD
How did you take this picture? 🤔
Asking the real questions. Option 1: I need 2 hands to hold this thing up so I modelled and printed a mount to hold my phone… Or I just asked my partner to take it 😜
Option 3: You need 2 hands to hold this thing up so you modelled and printed a replica of your hand and arm to hold it and took the picture with your real hand
Ah, the old reddit hand-o-roo
Probably option 1
This guy fucks
This looks painful. 🤔
is the deck running on battery?
The screen is plugged into power and the deck charges off the screen
damn, nice. I’ve got a portable screen that does the opposite and charges from its input. I keep hoping someone has invented a magic cord that allows me to split power and video separately from my deck, but then I realized that’s exactly what docks are for 🙃
You’re a madlad!
I wonder if you can slap an RPI and controller rails to the screen case and then just use it as a steam remote client.
Yeah I saw someone who did that and had it hooked to a battery, at that point id remote to my desktop…
The things people come up with is great
What monitor is this?
I live in Australia and got it from aldi here bauhn is the brand, I saw a file on printables by a guy that did this with n Amazon screen I’ll grab the link for you, he links to the exact model… https://www.printables.com/model/632862-steam-deck-portable-monitor. Good luck if you decide to !!
