Turn your Framework Laptop into a cursed Lego brick! The Brick System Expansion Card provides brick studs and tubes to the side and bottom of any Framework laptop.
This is my new favorite expansion card!

Amazing! I want to put two of them in and build a ridiculous bridge between them…

Just wonder if the axels can take the weight of a cat or dog or young child who may think it’s a mini skateboard, which anyway may be a good use for a bricked laptop.
Maybe an empty chassis with long legs and use as a dinner trolley

This is the best yet! Now if you can just find the motor from a Technics kit and drive your laptop around the desk!

Are we gonna get a XenoCow bonkrat collab? Lego Drawers for the framework? Gonna need a place to store all these legos

I was thinking that as soon as I saw it! Which legos and how many can fit in a standard-sized snack drawer? And of course, the snack draw should have lego pegs on the front.
Someone bothering you at work?
Open snack draw facing the perpetrator, click on two angry lego eyes, close drawer. Say nothing.

Like on a leash so it can’t get away when you take it out. I mean I know it’s only 1.3Kg but wants to carry a laptop when it can move on wheels.
But the leash is not there to drag it along, as we already have a motor in design and the AI to run the motor and follow me. But it may try and become independent and run away ~ hence the lead. but now if it’s that cleaver it may drag me into the road.
This not looking good, no Ai, not motor and the wheels it’s a slippery slope, take care.
I’m out of here before my laptop wakes up.
Take care you have no idea where the wheels will take you

From the looks of it, it might be possible to fit the four studs on the slide of the medium drawer and replace the extra space with the female side. So, you’d end up with a normal volume drawer but with the lego connectors on the front and bottom.
@bonkrat, how tall are the studs?

The studs are 1.8mm in height and 4.8mm in diameter.

My FrameWork may just give me the push I need to get into 3D printers. I love gadgets and tech but I could never really think of anything useful I would want to make at small scales such as I’ve seen in youtube videos and such. These ‘drawers’ fit that requirement plus I could probably come up with some bracket variations to fit inside the FW16 rear blank (or discrete graphics module slot on the rear).
Keep up the good work coming up with creative ways to enhance/customize our laptops!

This is how I got into the hobby, the Fidget Spinner Expansion Card was the first project that I printed. I used an online printing service and it cost around $50. Once I received the print, it was nice but there were some design issues. I didn’t really want to spend another $50, and I had a bunch of other dumb projects I wanted to prototype. I ended buying a Prusa MINI+.
Printing was an easier hobby to get into than I anticipated. I’d recommend it if you’re into design and have ideas you’d like to try.

Hey. Quick question, because I’m interested in building a Lego throne for my laptop… Could this be made as a case for the original type C? With the bottom be able to receive bricks? I would hate to lose the charging, but love to have it higher from the desk with stable Lego based legs
So you will have little sockets protruding from the bottom of the expansion card permanently
or
- You could glue ‘female’ buttons to the bottom of the card or a whole brick
- Drill holes in the bottom of the card so the brick will fit male end
- add velcro to a brick and the bottom of a card.
- how about a magnet in the card and a thin piece of iron/steel on the brick
