The Steam Controller might be sold out, but official Valve 3D files mean I could make my own using Steam Deck parts

Valve just shared exciting Steam Controller news for anyone looking to "hack, mod, or design accessories" for the gamepad. No, it's not back in stock yet, but you can now download and 3D print official models of the pad and its wireless puck, and I'm wondering if I can use them to make my own out of a Steam Deck.

In a fresh community post, Valve shares an official link to its Steam Controller STL and STP CAD files available under a Creative Commons license. That means, providing you don't start selling your own knock-off versions of the gamepad, you're free to modify, share, and whip up creations based on the files. You'll even have engineering drawings at your disposal to ensure you can avoid blocking elements like ports and the antenna, but I can't stop thinking about just recreating the actual pad.
