I Would like to see the MainBoard case in market place because i dont have a 3d printer and it be cool to see different case that are not plastic and i think it would be way easier for people that dont have 3d printers

@MrPIRY is likely referring to this case: Framework | Mainboard Availability and Open Source Release
I’m in the process of trying to figure out what I want to do with the mainboard should I choose to upgrade.
And I seem to have the following options if I plan to keep the mainboard:
- Leave the current mainboard in its current chassis. Buy a complete 12th gen DIY unit. Thereby having two usable & portable & self-contained compute units.
- Purchase additional laptop chassis, input cover and battery. Have a headless, wired network unit…with the builtin battery serving like a UPS. (Closet router use case…maybe?)
- 3D print the NUC-like case. Use that as a desktop compute node.
This 3rd option: Would be nice if Framework or a 3rd party can sell a non-plastic case…

To DM you need to do a bit more on the forum to up your status, but you can respond if someone DMs you.
Another option if you are willing to pay for the mainboard case is to use an online 3D printing service. I haven’t used one before, but a quick search led me to a few companies that will 3D print designs for you, then ship them to you for a cost. Since I am not familiar with these I won’t recommend any specific ones, but if someone else here has more experience, feel free to give your opinions!
I believe this is all you would need, but again, I am no expert on this sort of thing.
