Reddit User Cuts Steam Machine Faceplates Out of Same Marble Michelangelo Used
A Reddit user has made Steam Machine faceplates out of marble, and they're absolutely gorgeous. Luckily, you might be able to actually buy one.
In October 2025, Valve announced they would release files for 3D printing new faceplates for their Steam Machine mini gaming PC. A stonemason took this opportunity to create Steam Machine faceplates from the same marble Michelangelo once used. Users on Reddit showcased three such faceplates made from Statuario marble, Sahara Noir, and Roman Travertine.
These faceplates, 5-6mm thick and bonded onto 3D printed bases, were designed to keep the weight low and prevent cracking. The Statuario plate, in particular, contrasted nicely with the mini PC's black chassis. GinoWT, the stonemason, is preparing a small batch to sell via a website where users can input their name and email for pricing and shipping information.
Gino confirmed running daily use of these faceplates with no temperature or performance issues, and plans to conduct a stress test to confirm this. As more Steam Machines are delivered, it's exciting to imagine the incredible ways users will customize their devices.
