Update: I’ve published the model to [Printables](https://www.printables.com/model/1560986-framework-13-printable-lower-shell-untested) under GPL3, and also to [GitHub](https://github.com/Zdenek-Anoubis/FW-P13)!

As for my next directions - I really want to experiment with custom input options such as a 3D printable input deck for a drawing tablet, or an Thinkpad X220 keyboard for example. I don’t have a FW13 yet.. but I’ll keep an eye out on eBay 🙂

Alternatively, I have an old Thinkpad x201 I’d be quite interested in fitting a FW13 motherboard into. I know some guys have had some success doing so with an [X41](https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/1gpozs8/update_on_x41_w_framework_motherboard/), [701C](https://community.frame.work/t/thinkpad-701c-with-a-framework-brain-transplant-work-in-progress/27409), and even an old [Macbook](https://community.frame.work/t/i-converted-a-macbook-into-a-pc/60063), so maybe with some time and dedication it may too be possible!
