Impressed with @Zachary_Priest’s wise use of waiting time. I’m not quite that far ahead of the game…got my Framework and library print (very nicely done, I might add), and watching the camera for Amazon…
Edit to say: @Sean_N - couldn’t be more impressed with the plan and specs you provided for the print, it’s perfect.
I wish I had a framework to make this with! This is super cool
Now we just need a 240W version for a future high-power framework…
Those are probably the best photos I’ve seen taken of this… Maybe those could become product photos when this eventually gets marketed 
You can submit the STL file and specifications to a number of services that’ll print for you. I’ve noticed Staples does it, as do a many libraries and universities. My print only cost around $2.50, well worth it. (Would love to have a printer, tho.)
@Sean_N is the STL file ready to print or there any things I should know? I haven’t printed anything before and was going to use my local library.
Thank you for your sharing your creation!
@Challenge4168 - I gave the STL to my library with the following instructions (along with the YouTube link for good measure):
No other details (although I probably should’ve mentioned colour) and they did a perfect print. They did use a thin raft, but that was no problem trimming off.
The print they provided was perfect, good luck!
This is seriously awesome, thank you for posting! Really shows the usefulness of the modular and open approach to hardware design.
Got my framework today and am using the magnetic charging card it is amazing thank you again!
This is absolutely wonderful!
Any way I can buy this from you?
Thanks @Sean_N ! Your model printed great and hopefully this kind of magnetic connector will become standardized so there’s less risk of electrical damage.
Printed with:
(I’m a new account and can’t post more than one photo. I modified the photo to remove logos on the cable and connector, but I bought the ones that were recommended in the video)

So I made this and it fits perfectly while holding the internal pieces. Unfortunately after a day of use I swapped it back out for a normal USB C card
The framework charger cable is too thick and keeps pulling it off with slight adjustment. I ran into an issue trying to get it connected last night where it connected and disconnected a few times in a couple of seconds where the computer wouldn’t charge from it anymore. I thought I had fried my system but fortunately Everything is fine.
Any possibilities for a mag safe charger with this idea?
Since it’s just a standard USB-C charger, is it possible to buy a lighter cable to make it work?
Unlikely. Most USB-C cables designed for the higher wattages required for the Framework are going to be thicker due to physical necessity. Anything thinner would not be able to safely carry the required amount of current. (Also rest assured that if it’s a cable that meets USB-C specs and is not rated to carry higher current, it simply won’t work at all rather than risk overheating the cable.)
@nez Yes, I found a much better option. I’m pretty happy with the flexability over the factory cable. Here’s a link to it. https://www.amazon.com/Baseus-100W-USB-C-Cable/dp/B08PPGYRCX
Hmmm I didn’t buy the official adapter because I have multiple Macs that all have USB charging. The Macbook adapters seem to work fine, and the cables aren’t too thick.
I also was not happy with the rigidity of the cable which came with Framework’s power supply. I recently swapped it out for a usb-c cable from an android phone power supply. More flexible and similar to the mac cable I previously used. Works fine.
