I love your amazing work @mxg! Here’s photos of my print. The friction of the expansion cards against the frame is sufficient to hold it in place for me.

Love the designs on these, any ideas on how to make the new Ethernet expansion card work with it?

Funny you should say that because I wanted the same thing. I took bradstopher99’s STEP file and modified the design in Fusion 360 to accommodate the Ethernet adapter.

As part of my quest for everything translucent, it had to be done. Just need that elusive bezel 
Great design @mxg

Nice. What material did you use?
I don’t have a 3D printer so I found someone on Etsy to print it for me - so all I know is clear PLA filament.
I’d like to have had it printed in a clear resin, maybe it would look closer to the keyboard then, and be truly transparent but the price was way too high to try.
Would anyone be willing to make a 4 module version of this (with one being ethernet sized), I might try my hand at it but I’m only experienced with cinema4D
Love the community that framework has, these holders are exactly what I was looking for!!

I really liked some of the designs, but wanted to have one with all features included! So I made my own you can find here :))

This is pretty cool, but why does it have that extra block on top? Also appears the notch for the screw driver is filled in for some reason:
I love the expansion for the ethernet… so, how about a 4/5 BAY that uses the extra space from where slots where the ethernet card isn’t to hold the framework screwdriver? That would be awesome!
I think the extra block on top is an error. I sliced it off in the slicer (lol) before printing. And yes I still need to grind out the screwdriver notch…
It’s a support enforcer when slicing with Prusa Slicer to print the overhangs correctly ^^ It is a bit tedious, but was also the easiest to print and design
I never used prusa slicer before, wasn’t aware support needed to be baked into the model. I use cura and it will add support for me, which makes it easy to remove. The way this model has blocks filled in, unfortunately, messes it up in the slicer I use. Nice work on the model, but it’s not usable for me in this state.
The USB-C holes ended up being a bit too small when I printed this. Any recommendations on the best way to open them up? Careful Dremel work?
Properly calibrate your printer and reprint. I use an Ender 3 and after all the standard calibrations (tightening belts, wheels, and calibrating extruder), I still need to set Flow rate to 85% in order for it to print things in the proper dimensions.

Seriously, thanks for this. I can’t wait to print this when my FW16 arrives!!
