These Framework Laptop Mods Show Us Exactly Why Modular Computers Are So Damn Cool
with reference designs and documentation so those with the right tools can create custom expansion cards. Peet did just that. He downloaded the blueprints and tweaked the enclosure using Fusion 360 CAD software so it could fit the magnetic adapter flush with the side of the laptop. After everything was mocked up, he 3D printed the redesigned enclosure and soldered everything together.
He then took automotive-grade primers and paint to make the component match closely with the silver aluminum of the Framework. Finally, Nagle snapped the original Framework power cord to the modified charging port and measured a power draw of around 56 watts, close to the 60W rating for the adapter.“I really liked the Apple magnetic charging and I was aware that they probably have some patent on it that is going to make it unavailable on other laptops.
But in perhaps the most impressive Framework mod thus far, Peet took the motherboard from his laptop and installed it in a mechanical keyboard chassis, effectively turning the keyboard into a functional PC.After discovering the motherboard is roughly the size of a 60% tenkeyless keyboard, Peet drafted and 3D printed a custom keyboard chassis with windows in the sides so the Framework expansion cards could still be used to connect the keyboard PC to a monitor or peripherals.
