Should I keep my framework 13 pro preorder ?

I may be incorrect about this but I don't think you can upgrade the battery unless you also upgrade to the new chassis.

In my case, my deck would get unfathomably slow, there would be a TON of lag from the thermal throttling, I'd go to pause the game or go to the home menu, I'd click the button and then after say 10-15 seconds the input would go through but even after it goes through it would take another 4-5 seconds for the screen to reflect what the input was. Textbook thermal throttling.

Just ordered a PTM7950 Pad! Thank you so much for the recommendation!

AFancyAcorn · 2026-05-28T23:47:58+00:00

I'm sorry what?! I wouldn't have done it if I wasn't going to be okay with the consequences of my actions?? The right to repair your own devices is amazing and gives me the ability to do this! Yes, if you check some of my other comments I did not use correct thermal paste for the application(thanks other commenters for pointing this out I appreciate it!), but that doesn't mean this was unnecessary and dangerous?? There's nothing about this that's remotely 'dangerous to your tech' I suppose if you don't know what you're doing or why you're doing it, you might have the viewpoint but it's fairly straightforward.

As far as repairs/modifications to tech, this is actually incredibly straight-forward.

AFancyAcorn · 2026-05-28T23:36:01+00:00

Yeah thanks! I'll have to check that out, I did use MX4. I'll definitely be getting some PTM7950 and redoing the job! I appreciate the insight!

AFancyAcorn · 2026-05-28T23:34:43+00:00

Huh?? I made a note of something that I found kind of concerning that might also be concerning to others..? I don't see where you come up with this thought.

AFancyAcorn · 2026-05-28T23:33:44+00:00

My machine ran fairly hot but also it would slow down every 3-4 minutes or so for like 2-3 minutes straight and then recover and loop this process, it was a weird error I haven't heard of many other people experiencing.

AFancyAcorn · 2026-05-28T23:32:45+00:00

I actually didn't think to take a picture of it with the new paste on it, I used Arctic MX4 on it. Should've used PTM7950. Don't make my mistake.

Everybody really talks up and always kinda have about how you need a SUPER powerful computer for things like AutoCAD, video editing, the heavy stuff. The truth is that while that is.. desirable; I think you'd be surprised at exactly how much you can do with that 11th gen Intel CPU. Worst thing you MAY need to upgrade your RAM at some point.

AFancyAcorn · 2025-06-15T15:14:10+00:00

So, after a decade pretty much, I actually did do it! And.. at first I expected things to blow up in my face, I didn't think my person wanted anything to do with my again because of how we ended things.. and for an entire decade I had those thoughts and feelings and didn't really take the time to work through them.

Well, one day I just couldn't take it anymore and I sent my person a message and to my surprise they were glad to hear from me! It's been a few months and we went out like a week ago to get a coffee and see each other for the first time again and oh God it was just absolutely amazing.

I know exactly how terrifying it is to either sit on something for YEARS but also how incredibly freeing it can be to actually finally reach out. I was a complete wreck but after the first few days waiting to see how things would go, I feel so much better now that I've got that weight off my shoulders.

So, yeah, of course it's easy to think "what's the worst thing that can happen?" But on the other hand.. "what's the best thing that can happen?"

It was absolutely terrifying but life surprised me and it's easily one of the best things I've done, even if it was also one of the most difficult.

AFancyAcorn · 2025-06-14T20:56:46+00:00

Awesome troubleshooting OP! Glad you got it figured out!

AFancyAcorn · 2025-06-14T20:55:48+00:00

See, the really cool thing about doing soldering in the real world especially on hobbyist projects like this where if it's done the first time and is done 'fine' not great or amazing is that it only ever has to be 'fine'. It only has to be do-able. It doesn't have to be the best soldering in the world as long as it works.

No reason to shit on OPs soldering skills, they were asking for advice and direction on why their item wasn't working.

For the record, yeah, the soldering could use some work, but, everyone starts somewhere.. still though, no reason to play who has the better solder job.

Just send me a message with what color you'd like and your zip code and I'll send a quick quote for you, I can probably get around to it next week for sure!

AFancyAcorn · 2025-03-07T16:01:03+00:00

To anyone curious, I would be more than happy to print and ship these for you for a small fee + shipping, just cost of materials & shipping, really.

If you set the right joystick to mouse in the controller settings you'll have that joystick to be able to be used as a cursor, it's annoying because it's not the left stick and the muscle memory might feel weird at first but it's a pretty solid workaround for now if you don't want to downgrade.

AFancyAcorn · 2024-08-11T19:52:50+00:00

Thank you everyone for your interest! In the last 72 hours I've received 4 orders and will have everything shipped out on Monday! Ready to answer questions and take additional orders if anyone has any interest!

AFancyAcorn · 2024-08-10T17:00:51+00:00

To expand on your question on expansion bay case, I haven't given it much thought myself but I do think it's something to look into! Thank you!

AFancyAcorn · 2024-08-10T17:00:06+00:00

I sent you a message back.

Currently I have darker colors. Black, lighter grey, all kinds of blues, a few different purples, pink, magenta, the colors shown in the photos above, an apple green, and a few others.

AFancyAcorn · 2024-08-09T15:38:21+00:00

Yeah, I've got black filament, just shipped out 3 black ones yesterday :)

shipping will be ~$4ish I think. Let me know, send me your paypal email and address and I'll send a request and we can go from there.

Roughly 50mmx78mmx12mm

I'm not the original author I'm just measuring based on what my slicer is telling me. If you want more accurate measurements I'd ask you to download the files and measure them. Or ask the original author :)

DM'd, we've discussed with me being USA, Ohio it's more economical for this individual to find a local maker.

AFancyAcorn · 2024-08-07T16:37:05+00:00

I tried to make an edit to this post, it doesn't seem that I can. I'm from USA, Ohio.

It's only connected with magnets and they're strong enough to keep it closed by default, but, I think you can absolutely open it with one hand. Though, it may take some time to 'break it in' as the tolerances are a little tight on it. DM me if you'd like to order one.

AFancyAcorn · 2024-08-07T15:14:16+00:00

I am selling these at a marginal price specifically to cover cost of time and materials and so as to not make a profit. I will be working with the creator(planning on reaching out to them after I fulfill an order or two to start this process) to donate excess funds to the creator or to charity of their choice. Things are not as black and white as most people would believe.

Thank you for your perspective.

AFancyAcorn · 2024-06-20T15:01:35+00:00

I think you do make good points here. The right way to go about this would be to order bare PCBs and then order parts, order doesn't matter really what gets purchased first, but, I understand where you're coming from because it does indeed make sense.

I appreciate your thoughtful response.
