update 9/30/26: update assembly guide, update to v2 increase thickness by 3mm for better ventilation and changed some design.

Note 9/10/26: : Sorry guys! After printing the mainboard and doing some assembly, I found a few parts with fitting issues. I’ve updated those parts, so the revised versions will be labeled 002 and above.

Hey guys, long story short, my main inspiration for this design came from a picture of a guy wearing AR glasses and using a controller to play on his Legion Go.

I've always wanted something like that myself. I imagined using it with XREAL Air glasses and a pair of Joy-Con 2 controllers, using the gyro as a mouse. Something like the image below.

So, for this design, I wanted to make a techy, futuristic mini PC case that lets you showcase the beautiful design of the Framework 12 mainboard at the front, whether you're using it on a desk or as wearable.

And since it's wearable, I also wanted it to be able to carry some extra accessories, such as a battery, USB hub, SSD, etc. So I designed the back to be customizable, allowing you to attach whatever accessories you like.

On top of that, I designed it with minimal support use in mind. All parts can simply be laid flat, and the largest piece is only 23 cm wide, so it should fit most medium-sized 3D printers.

One thing to note when printing: most parts currently have zero tolerance, so please use the most precise material you have. I'm using Timory Matte PETG and PETG-GF.

The glass part is 1.5 mm thick. You can either print it or cut a piece of acrylic of the same thickness.

You'll also need some heat-set inserts and screws:

• x60 5x5mm Heat inserts

• x6 m3 x 6mmGrub screws 

• x1 m3 x 8mm Grub screws 

• x5 m3 × 4 mm screws

• x16 m3 × 6 mm screws

• x4 m3 × 8 mm screws or x4 m3 × 10 mm screws

• x1 m3 × 14 mm screws

• x10 Phillips 2 × 3 mm screws
