Valve has made the Steam Frame’s CAD files and electrical interface information available for non-commercial use, giving makers official specifications for accessories built around the VR headset. Valve says anyone seeking commercial use should follow the instructions at the files link and contact the company.

The release follows hobbyists who had already begun experimenting with the hardware. Rock Paper Shotgun highlighted a back-mounted battery holder, replacement controller straps, light-blocker extensions and a coupler that joins the Frame controllers into a gamepad-style layout.

The stranger side of the early accessory scene includes a controller chest rig and a melting-skull headset stand. The skull’s creator later added chambers for storing both controllers and their hand straps, making the display piece double as a dock.
