They’re famous for selfies.
They look like they’re always smiling.
People call them the happiest animals on Earth.
But when danger comes for their babies…
They don’t fight.
They don’t protect.
They throw their babies at predators and run.
That’s right — mother quokkas have been observed tossing their joeys out of their pouches to distract predators while they escape.
It’s brutal.
It’s cold.
But it’s survival.
Scientists call it “infant abandonment as a defense mechanism” — and in quokkas, it’s instinctive.
The moment they sense they’re beieing ruthless does. jettison the baby and run for cover.
No last look. No hesitation.
Because in the wild, being cute doesn’t keep you alive.
Being ruthless does.
Yeah, I started on Ubuntu, got acclimated to Linux using it, went to mint, didn't give me what I wanted and just dove into arch, been running the same install for 8 years now and honestly don't want any more from my os... I also love my steam deck.. It runs arch BTW 😉
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
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...

Prism launcher, please for the love of god don't use a controller mod, steam input is essential (mouse and keyboard emulation) then you get to use the trackpads as macros for any extra buttons you may need, and the controller mod feels way worse than the kB+mouse
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 😜
I don't mean yo undermine your design but I was recently looking for like a modular pegboard type thing and found printy panels pretty cool, https://www.printables.com/model/859807-printy-panels I am going to design something similar using that consept
