Sold Out.

I was expected this to be a 3D print design people could grab for free.

Has anyone tried using this with a Framework mainboard?
they have a branding problem - they are starting to being perceived like a snobby brand with ridiculously overpriced products sold as a status symbol - a Balanciaga of creative tech basically

so they are trying to put out some cheap good value products to signal a return of the original hacker ethos

Free as in speech or beer...?

I wonder if they used static-dissipative/ESD-safe plastic, as pure polypropylene is good insulator and easily builds up a static charge. There's a reason nearly all computer cases are conductive.

I'm genuinely torn on this. On one hand, I love the DIY vibe. On the other, isn't paying $195 for a flat-pack metal box the most anti-DIY thing ever?
Curious question, this case is pure PP. What about shilding EMV emissions? Is this "legal" to run a pc open like that?
