Hi yall, it’s been a while. I made a shell design for the card from the official 3D printable expansion card shell CAD, and test drived it for some months (on a non-framework laptop, since framework does not sell to my region). Happy to report that the electronics is reliable enough for my use. On average I get ~20 Mbps down and ~7 up on 2 wimpy FPC antenna, which is still good enough for remote desktop access and youtube playback.
This was printed with JLC3DP’s 3201 PA-F nylon SLS. I’m not a mechanical engineer though, and the shell must have a lot of things that should have been designed better. As I don’t have a framework laptop, I also could not test fit it in an expansion slot. Anyway, I have published the 3D shell design in the git repo, feel free to do whatever.
