After all the talk of various expansion cards being developed and prototyped and asked for and debated, I find that the most important one is already available!

It says one version of the CAD files are free but it looks like the platform still wants to charge shipping =/

Huh… How strange. Thank you for catching that! I’ll fix that. In the meantime, please feel free to download the files from this link as seen in my post about the lite drawer.
I see the issue… I think I will remove the digital file options and just put a link both on my website and in the item description. Thank you again.

Thank you for your work! I will perhaps order one when I actually get the laptop.

Physical drawer orders will not be taken until further notice due to logistical problems. The digital files are still for sale. Thank you for your patience.
Update May 13th
The new and improved SNACK Drawer V2 has launched. Quit reading this and go check it out!

This thread is a great example of how the Framework Community blends hardware creativity with practical use cases. The whole SNACK drawer concept is basically a micro-modular storage system that leverages unused expansion card space, turning a standard I/O slot into a flexible container for things like SD cards, cash, or even small snacks . It’s a clever illustration of modular design thinking where form factor constraints drive innovative, user-defined functionality.
What’s interesting is how this mirrors system optimization in other domains. In food service, for example, places like Cook Out follow a similar modular philosophy with their menu architecture. The Cookout menu is essentially a configurable system where a base item like a burger or BBQ plate acts as the “core module,” and sides like hushpuppies, fries, or quesadillas are interchangeable add-ons. Just like the SNACK drawer repurposes limited physical space into a multi-use compartment, Cook Out optimizes menu slots to maximize variety and throughput without increasing operational complexity.
Both cases show how constrained systems whether hardware slots or menu structures can be extended through smart modular design, giving users more flexibility without redesigning the entire core system.
Who is going to be the first to use it for their Viagra supply ???

Who let the clankers into my thread? 
Thank you for taking a look, regardless.
No doubt all manner of strange and unusual things have found their homes in a SNACK drawer.
