Redditor GinoWT sells hand-finished marble faceplates for the Steam Machine

Reddit user GinoWT is producing hand-finished marble faceplates for Valve's Steam Machine, using 5–6 mm stone bonded to a 3D-printed backing with embedded magnets. GinoWT identifies the marble as coming from the Carrara quarry basin — the same region Michelangelo worked from — and says they normally cut stone for superyacht interiors. Each plate is finished by hand and offered through a website signup for first small batches; no retail prices are listed.

• Faceplates use 5–6 mm marble bonded to a 3D-printed structure with magnets to attach to the Steam Machine front.
• GinoWT identifies the stone as Carrara quarry marble, the same basin Michelangelo worked from.
• GinoWT usually cuts marble for superyacht materials and says each Steam Machine plate is individually hand-finished rather than mass-produced.
• Additional variants include Sahara Noir (black with a gold vein) and Roman travertine; interested buyers can sign up on the maker's website for initial small batches, but prices are not posted.
