DIY 3D-Printed Companion Cube Case for Steam Machine Goes Live

A community member has uploaded 3D-printable files to Printables so you can 3D print a Companion Cube-style case for the Steam Machine, offering a DIY alternative after dBrand’s unauthorized case was pulled. The design closely resembles the original with additional variants, and assembly requires magnets, screws, inserts, superglue, a soldering iron, tweezers, screwdrivers, and multiple filament colors, plus videos and instructions. It’s not as easy as buying a finished case, but provides a viable option for those who missed out.
