Thanks! I did try this, and variations on this, by selecting all and clicking export all 6 items. No dice.

I did just figure out a way though, I made them a union group, which applied the cuts immediately, and they stayed when exported. I've never had to do that before. Though admittedly I normally use fusion360. Something is definitely weird though. It should just work without doing that. And in fact it did a few days ago on a different project file.

I made this test block to test the fit on some holes (my printer isn't calibrated), when I noticed the problem. The cone on the side was a sanity check for this problem.

I tried googling but couldn't come up with this same problem.

I mean, it kind of is a toy 😬

To each their own though 👍

See my comment below for advice on an SSD swap, it's super easy

Yeah SSD swap is one of the easiest upgrades, with the most benefit. Plus if you get an external nvme enclosure and take some time to play with RescueZilla, you can clone your old drive to the new one and you won't have to reinstall anything at all. Pretty slick!

Can confirm 🫠

While not as enticing, it should be much easier for the deck to handle.

People's concern with the increased resolution is that games that are already marginal, like horizon forbidden West, will slip further down in frame rate.

If hardware accelerated 720p becomes a thing with a software update, I'll most likely bump it down for a net INCREASE in performance 😬

It's 1080p, which is unfortunately just a little harder to drive. Apparently the hardware in the new screen technically supports hardware downscaling to 720p, but that isn't implemented yet, and may never be.

Thanks! I thought I was keeping up with development but I guess I missed that somehow. I guess I'll just have to be patient 😬

Thanks!

The new case was like $35, and the OLED screen is like $140. I bought a deck with a broken screen for $150, so $325 from scratch? Plus taxes and odds and ends 🤷‍♂️ Not bad!

Well, I'm sure I could've gone faster, I did stop to help my buddy a number of times. But yeah it's at least 2 or 3 hours, lots of little bits and bobs and they all have to go back in the right spots. It's not hard per se, except for the screen removal, it's just tedious.

Thanks I think it looks great too! 😄

Easy peasy, he created a tool that does it automatically, with prompts and everything. Literally just double clicking a file from his website, done and done 👍

Yes unfortunately. I thought I wouldn't have to, that's half the reason I got the extra case. But the way the steam deck is designed, the internal frame is screwed to the front case with 6 screws that are under the screen 🫠

Edit: Swapping the screen without swapping the case would be significantly easier, you've only gotta go down as deep as the motherboard.

The screen swap was easy peasy, the hardest part was getting the old screen out. Mine was already broken, and I wasn't keeping the front plastic, so I didn't have to worry about being too careful, except around the top edge where the mics and ambient light sensor are.

The case swap was a bear, took forever. I'm fairly handy, but the whole process took almost 4 hours. My buddy was doing his in tandem with me and he was over 5 hours, and that's with me lending a hand towards the end.

It looks great, in my opinion, and I'd do it again, I'd just start earlier in the day 😬

As far as the OLED goes, so far it looks good. The stock brightness slider isn't working, it must be a software thing? I have had zero time to look into it. I haven't even played a single game on it since doing the swap. I'll report back when I have time to give it a fair shake.
