Share projects and ideas around creating new Expansion Cards. Source available on [GitHub](https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/ExpansionCards).

We’re happy to announce the launch of the Expansion Card Developer Program to opening card development to the world. We’ve released documentation, CAD templates, and reference designs for Expansion Cards, all under open source licenses to make it easy for both hardware companies and individual makers to create new card designs. This is all downloadable from [our GitHub repository](https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/ExpansionCards).

Is there a way to get another type of 3D model file of Expansion card slots (something parametric) Solidworks? or a step file just of Expansion card body. (when I import the stp file its problematic at the moment)  
Also What metal gauge is the cover for the Expansion slot - and if we could have the 3D model of the cover that be great too!
