Made this simple mount to attach a power bank to my back so I can use the steam frame for extended period of time.
You will need a Amazon Basics Go Pro mount and some 3mm shock/bungee cord to attach the power bank

The power bank I used was this:

Any other power bank that can charge with 45W should also be fine, bu the mount is specificaylly made for batteries which are 71mm x 152mm. I included the freecad file so you can adjust the size, simply edit the first sketch and enter the dimensions there, should work unless you make it to small.
I plan on making a back plate to essentially turn this into a TACO style Magazine pouch for quicker battery changes than tying it to the mount, put that will have to way a day or two.
EDIT: For seated play just flip it around and put the power bank on your chest
EDIT2 added some models for smaller powerbanks, didn't test those, print on your own risk(well that applies anyway but you know)
EDIT3: Added the front piece for quick battery swaps!
EDIT4: Since Someone had questions on how exactly I connected the straps, I added another picture how mine is set up. Note that I did use the front adapter from this print :
It is not strictly necessary though, there are a few options to set it up without the front adapter.
