The SNACK Drawer V2: Back in Snacktion

[Jeef]

Anyone else excited that the new Framework 16 will be able to hold 6 snack drawers?

Actually, that’s where the snack micro fridge goes.

Updated Digital Files! -Looser Fits-
It came to my attention that the slide of the drawer might be too tight with some filaments or when printed on some printers. So, I have made a few looser versions of the drawer.

If you purchased any of the original drawers or the digital files for either the old or V2 drawer, you should have received the updated files in your inbox.

If you did not receive the e-mail with the files, or have any problems with them, please let me know and we’ll figure that out.

Any chance that V3 can include a little temperature plate that’s powered over USB-C so we can keep our SNACKS warm (or cold)?

I know it’s a joke, but warm snacks could be done easy! PCBs can be made into heater plates with just a long winding copper trace. And a polymide PCB is only 0.15-0.2mm thick. Oshpark. Cooling is much harder, maybe impossible in such a small space. A thermoelectric peltier cooler could be used if there was room for a heatsink and fan.

Maybe you could keep some nice warm dip for your chips in your SNACK draw?

Here’s actually a picture of the latest prototype of the next version with the built-in grill. Perfect for making popcorn on the go!

OK If the exploding popcorn doesn’t dent the input panel I still think you’re going to have a hell of a job opening the draw.

Oh, I would advise against popping the corn while the drawer is closed. This is more of a “I want to eat now” kind of deal. The slow cooker drawer is a planned future upgrade, though.

@anon81945988

Ok apologies for thinking you were going to push the popcorn expansion card in, what an idiot I must appear to be

Oh. Don’t be like that!

having ordered digital files, how long can i expect to wait before receiving the email?

@radiish

You can expect it now! The e-mails are hand-crafted (not an automated system) so the time between order and the e-mail being sent is dependent on when I see that there is an order and then send a response. Thank you for your patience.

[radiish]

that’s alright! i understand the brief delay and it was shorter than i expected.

Other uses
…

• proper bios battery

A tiny hole in the bottom case of the FW to thread wires through, glued-on contact pads on the FW, pogo pins on the drawer and a battery holder in it…

Not too difficult.

I urgently need a snack drawer for my F13 However, the printed versions are all sold out - any news when purple will be available again?

Thank you very much for pointing this out! I see the problem on the shop side, but have to call up Square to figure out how to fix this since everything looks fine on my end…

These are made to order so there is no inventory to speak of, aside from the raw plastic.

Update November 15, 2023: Website Issue Fixed

Thanks to @Andreas1 pointing out that the drawers were “sold out” I was able to go in and fix the problem.

@Andreas1

the printed versions are all sold out

It turns out that Square (the company I use for managing the sales/payment processing) had disabled the shipping options since I had missed a notification about confirming my address…

In any case, SNACKs are back on the menu boys. My apologies to those that had wanted to buy one and not been able to.

I actually now have these loaded in there. It will be nice to come to the rescue of someone who gets a papercut.

Out of curiosity I wonder if anything would change about the adhesive over a period of long time/heavy use.

I would expect there would be a little. However, I have my band-aids on the right side, away from the cpu so the effects of heat wearing out the adhesive are probably lessened.

Hello. I have been selling these drawers for a few years now and want a little bit of feedback about the pricing. I have been selling the normal drawers for $3.00 and the simple “lite” versions for $2.50 the whole time. Are these prices reasonable?

It’s not like I’m making much of any sort of profit on these, but I don’t have any reference for what expansion cards should cost besides the mass produced and shipped Framework ones. I worry that the prices are too low and setting a president that someone who wants to make a real business out of expansion cards could not match.

As some more context, the current standard shipping within the US is double the price of the drawer, if my time is not included, more if it is.

So, I am curious to hear what you all, if you have bought one or not, have to say on the pricing currently. Thank you.

• Charge More
• Current Prices Just Right ($3)
• Charge Less

[Erik1]

Probably $ 4-5 would easily be fine as well.
Though if someone wants to make a real businiess out of it maybe they could probably increase the profit by getting better business shipping rates.
