Hi Andrew,
The Framework Laptop 16 input deck has some very small features. The real touchpad module has an injection molded plastic piece that is glued to the aluminum facade. I uploaded the Fusion 360 project file to the Printable’s page so you can update and or modify the model however you see fit.
Amazing design. Just wondering how you put the screws in, since the Framework screws aren’t self-tapping ?
If you apply even pressure while screwing in the Framework screws then you can cut threads into the 3D printed plastic. Don’t over tighten them or you’ll strip out the plastic threads.
I had to go down a slightly different route by applying some heat with a soldering iron, but the result is amazing. Thanks so much for the fantastic work. Happy to send you a 1-piece version if you’d like.
Very nice!
