A slim desktop enclosure that turns a Framework Laptop 12 Mainboard into a standalone mini PC. Designed and clash-checked against Framework's official mainboard STEP (CC BY 4.0).
Features
Uses the board's own captive M2 screws: the four mounting screws thread straight into bosses in the tray (1.7 mm self-tapping holes). No extra hardware for the board.
Flexing power button printed into the lid, sitting right over the mainboard's power switch (~2 N press).
All four USB-C ports accessible, with openings sized for cable overmolds. Small windows for the charge LEDs.
Cooling: hex grilles above and below the fan, and exhaust slots exactly where the heatsink fins exit. Extra slots over CPU/RAM.
VESA 100 / wall keyholes in the floor (M4 screw heads up to 8 mm).
Vertical stand (print two) to stand the PC on its edge.
Size
226 × 131 × 17.5 mm. Needs a 256 mm bed (A1, P1S, MK4, CORE One).
Printing
Tray: floor down, ~2 h 27 min, 95 g PLA/PETG.
Lid: already oriented top-face down, ~1 h 32 min, 61 g.
Stand: ~31 min, 20 g (print 2).
0.2 mm layers, 3 walls, 15 % infill, no supports.
Hardware
4× M2 × 8 self-tapping screws for the lid.
Optional: 4 rubber feet Ø10 mm (recesses in the floor).
Assembly
Place the mainboard in the tray (fan side up) and tighten its 4 captive screws.
Put the lid on (the lip locates it) and fit the 4 M2 screws in the corners.
Parametric source: build123d (Python). STEP files included.
Images are renders. Clearances were verified in CAD against the official mainboard model; not yet test-printed with a physical board. Makes and feedback are very welcome.
