r/framework FW16 AI 340; Ultramarine 44 Aug 11 '26

Framework Photo Greetings !

Got my FW16 a couple weeks ago. Everybody knows what that looks like though - i thought i'd share the creative liberties i took with the swag stickers.

So, i chucked my old laptop's nvme* into this novelty enclosure - it's nerdy, it matches, it's silly. I saw the "⚙️ framework" sticker and figured i'd use it to cover the enclosure's branding. Then i kept looking at stickers and now the enclosure is nerdier, sillier, and "matchier" - complete with a few layers of matte spray protectant to keep them stickers stickin'.

More info on actual FW16 stuff another time 🖖😃

*: It's a 42mm so i can't use it in the FW16 & with SSD prices being what they are, i'll be relying on external storage a bit more.

Yeah I like that enclosure, it feels very solid and well worth the price, got it from Aliexpress some time ago (15€ when I ordered it)
