PS5 Slim 3D-Printed Enclosure Turns Your Game Console Into A Groot-like Enchanted Forest Prop

Although it’s giving major Zelda vibes, this outer enclosure for the PS5 Slim somehow complements the futuristic console perfectly. It’s an oddly cute combination of rustic and futuristic, making it look like some magical prop in a fantasy woodland setting that’s hiding a power-up inside it. Designed by Holoprops, the enclosure features unkempt wooden planks, tethered together with metal strips and rivets.

The aesthetic feels distinctly Groot-ish, or reminds me of the mask that Stanley Ipkiss wears to turn into The Mask. The planks are quite crooked to the point of endearing, and there’s even a PS logo on one side and the action buttons logos on the other side, as well as tufts of grass on the inside, all created using 3D printing.

Designer: Holoprops

This custom enclosure wraps your PS5 in a modular shell that feels lovingly carved from the world of Genshin Impact or Hyrule. Planks of faux wood, medieval metal accents, mossy growths, and ornamental medallions come together like a prop straight out of a fantasy set designer’s fever dream. Yet beneath the illusion, the build is all about smart design. Every piece is separate and print-friendly, optimized for folks using single-color 3D printers. Want mahogany with dark steel? Go for it. Prefer birch with bronze trim and lush green tufts? You’re only limited by your filament collection and your imagination.

The craftsmanship here is clever. No supports are needed during printing, which is always a quiet victory in the 3D printing world. The design respects airflow, so your PS5 won’t overheat while you’re deep into Elden Ring or grinding in Final Fantasy XIV. Even the whimsical grass elements are detachable—because let’s face it, some days you’re vibing full-on Rivendell, and some days you want your setup to lean clean and tactical.

The medallions might tempt fate with their PlayStation insignia, but Holoprops has your back with a merchant-safe version that steers clear of IP drama. The base design, in all its fantasy flair, stands strong on its own. There’s a sense that this wasn’t just made by someone who likes 3D modeling—it was made by someone who understands what gaming means on a deeper level. That it’s not just about performance specs and pixel counts, but the world-building, the escapism, and the joy of surrounding ourselves with objects that reflect the stories we love.

For a generation raised on cartridges and cheat codes, there’s something deeply satisfying about turning the sleek minimalism of the PS5 Slim into a tactile, almost organic object. It’s like giving your console a soul, or at least a new lore page in your mental codex. It invites you to imagine the PS5 as a treasure chest in a forest clearing, especially with the PS5 Slim’s blue backlight shining through the wooden planks for extra effect!
