This repository is an open-source hardware reference design for the Framework Laptop 13, containing 3D CAD models (STEP, STL, DXF), 2D mechanical drawings, partial schematics, pinout tables, and 3D-printable case files. It is not a software application or data research project; it is a collection of design files enabling repair, customization, and third-party accessory development. The repository is organized by subsystem (mainboard, display, battery, hinges, touchpad, webcam, etc.) with detailed README documentation. The only software component is a GitHub Actions workflow for CLA compliance. The repository demonstrates high craftsmanship in hardware documentation with standardized pinout tables and modular printable case designs. It is actively maintained with recent commits and an active issue tracker.
The LLM identified 3 files worth highlighting for reuse:
Parametric OpenSCAD model for a mainboard mounting tray. Includes adjustable parameters for boss locations, VESA mount spacing, and WiFi antenna mount. Can be reused for other mainboard designs with minimal adaptation, demonstrating a reusable hardware design pattern.
A set of 3D-printable case STL files (top/bottom covers, left/right cuts, with/without logo) that can be assembled into a full enclosure for the Framework mainboard. The modular approach (cut vs. full, pin vs. fastener) is a reusable pattern for creating customizable 3D-printed enclosures.
Contains comprehensive, standardized pinout tables for all major connectors (mainboard, display, battery, keyboard, etc.) with signal names, types, voltages, and notes. This format is a reusable pattern for hardware documentation that can be applied to any embedded system project.
