Motivation

Framework Laptop 12 doesn’t come with a fingerprint reader like the other models.

This project was inspired by:

It may be of interest to users of Framework Desktop as well, but this has not been tested.

Additional materials

  • Chipsailing CS971 fingerprint reader - 11€ (AliExpress)
  • USB-A to USB-C adapter - 4€ (Ebay)

These components are widely available from other sellers.

Failed attempts

Seven failed attempts and two broken fingerprint readers. (If it isn’t obvious, this is my first attempt at 3D printing :sweat_smile:)

Yes! This looks incredible! I gotta make this for myself

How well have you found it for everyday use?

It works! Regarding the case, I’m really glad that I spent a few more rounds to get the base shorter than the rubber feet so that the laptop is level when placed on a table and doesn’t slide around. Regarding the chip, I hope it will be supported by the official version at some point but the fork works perfectly fine for now! Have fun :slight_smile:
