All the text below by myself, no help from AI, so please excuse all the bugs errors. The nice images are rendered by AI based on screenshots from my CAD, so they are not perfect. (I'm still learning Blender).
Ufff... I was very late to the Framework contest party, but I made the most of my time. The model is far from perfect, it requires proper testing together with the Framework motherboard, but I believe it has something unique among all the fantastic models taking part in the contest.
Yes, it looks like a bug (kinda) and I would love to have it on my desk; but it also has mounting points and optional accessories, which can be used to hide it under the desk. I was planning to create another version with the battery and the slots for the Framework USB modules but could not manage to do that because of the time (and skills probably). Still I included The Drawer where you can store spare modules, USB drives, or whatever fits there.
So what's so unique about this design?
It looks cool!
It can be mounted to a wall, desk, upside down - great stuff when you want to use it for Home Assistant.
It has The Drawer to keep stuff.
Parts are printable with almost no support required.
What could be improved?
Probably a lot when printed and properly tested with the Framework motherboard. Creating without testing only gets you so far (and often results in buggy projects :P )
Adding the battery to it, would be useful for that time without power.
Adding Vesa mount, cos why not.
Adding extended covers for Framework's modules (I almost finished them, almost).
OK, so how can you assemble this project if you wish to spend your time and filament to print it?
Print the Mounting Bracket

Find 5 suitable threaded inserts (I used M2x4) and use your skills to hot-press them into the holes in the Mounting Bracket.
Align the motherboard with the holes in the Mounting Bracket and screw them together.

Print the Main Cover

Print the Back Cover

Connect the Back Cover to the back of the Main Cover

Using the front opening in the Main Cover slide in the Mounting Bracket together with the motherboard. They should click in.

Print the Front Cover

Print the Button, the Button Box, and two Springs (There's only one Spring in the inventory, so print it twice).

Put the Button into the Button Box

Slide them into the place in the Front Cover

Add Springs

Click the Front Cover onto the front of the Main Cover

Insert threaded inserts (M3) into mounting points on the bottom

Print those Buggy Legs, six of them (there's only one in the inventory, so you know what to do)

Screw the Buggy Legs into the mounting points on the bottom of the Main Cover

Print the Drawer

Insert the Drawer from the front

and.... that's it. There are also alternative mounting legs (Bracket Leg) in the inventory, which can be used to mount the enclosure differently, under the desk for example, or on the wall.

Feel free to comment, criticize or even help with improvements. And remember: a bug can be a feature!
