A fan-made 3D-printable design has turned Valve's upcoming Steam Machine into a tissue box, poking fun at how closely the console-sized PC's boxy, vented enclosure resembles an everyday household item. The design has been shared online for anyone with a 3D printer to download and make their own, adding a lighthearted spin to the anticipation surrounding Valve's new hardware.

The Steam Machine, revealed by Valve as a compact living-room gaming PC, has a distinctive cube-like shape with a perforated pattern that several commentators noted looks similar to a tissue dispenser. Taking the joke further, a maker created a printable model replicating the console's exterior so fans can use it to hold tissues at home, with the file available for download to owners of 3D printers who want to print their own version.
