Expansion bay pocket

I created a 3D printable pocket for the expansion bays for the Framework 16. As the title suggests, the 3D print is meant to be like a pocket for the expansions and slides in without needing any screws or tools.

The sides of the pocket don’t exactly sit flush with the expansion shells, and I’m still considering where to store the interposers. Other than that, I’m open to suggestions on where this can be improved!

Draft photos!

• Testing the width:

• Testing the “wings” of the pocket to ensure it fits into the expansion card.
  • 

I forgot to take photos of the completed print. I’ll upload them when I get home from my travels
