Adding a second screen to a Steam Deck using 3D printed parts (Build Materials in Description)

As part of our ongoing attempts to make dual screen console emulation a bit more accessible, we’ve designed a couple new mounting adapters to help folks mount a second screen to their Steam Deck with a lot less effort.

To download the 3D printed parts, check out our Ko-Fi Shop: https://ko-fi.com/s/3b9c1684f2

If you don’t own a printer yourself, consider checking out your local library or a print-on-demand service. I used Treatstock to print my parts.
