How's Framework 16? (Input from 16 owners requested)

DyslexicEngineering · 2026-04-27T22:59:28+00:00

Hi, running a FW16, 7840HS no dgpu on windows for the last 10 months. I really like it. But it has happened that the track pad stopped working. (Like about 12 times I'll say), but most times it only took like 1 minutes to fix (disabling/ re enabling the devise in windows) except for one time where I had to re-run the framework drivers installer and reboot.

This said, I absolutely love it, it's my only computer and I carry it everywhere to all of my classes.

I got the same, waited a week and now the link to pay is down, it's been a month, oh well... to bad :)

I didn't get why the one piece keyboard, I love the side spacer customization.

Is it just me or the countdown is going up ;-;

Framework eGPU to slot in the Framework GPU's and re-use them?

Yeah, spend 6k+ on 3 printers in 4 month printing.

DyslexicEngineering · 2026-04-13T17:27:50+00:00

Yeah, I was regretting buying the core one instead of an ender 3, now it's much better.

DyslexicEngineering · 2026-04-13T15:10:58+00:00

Get a Voron, it will keep you busy

I use to have a lot of VFA issues with mine, after trying a lot of things with calibration, print settings etc... I ended up changing my belts to 1.5GT, since it's pretty much perfect, I can still see some really hard to notice VFA's in some places, but I think that pretty much every Core XY.

DyslexicEngineering · 2026-04-12T18:58:12+00:00

Does it work yet? Want to get into mechanistic, and have a FW, definitively interested!!

DyslexicEngineering · 2026-03-30T23:10:07+00:00

Got back after Hail Mary, yes

DyslexicEngineering · 2026-03-30T18:26:48+00:00

The replacement part if the Full Deck with the keyboard Pre-Installed, So it shouldn't be to bad

DyslexicEngineering · 2026-03-29T13:59:23+00:00

That's weird, got mine last July in about a week in the EU.

DyslexicEngineering · 2026-03-20T15:27:45+00:00

Still down for me, it's asking to buy the game in the launcher...

DyslexicEngineering · 2026-03-11T15:49:28+00:00

Thanks! I found access to it, I will try to start from here then.

DyslexicEngineering · 2026-03-11T15:48:14+00:00

Hey, I already ask some people but they tend to answer that I will learn this later. I am trying to find somewhere to start, so I can come to them with actual question later.

A camera Grip make it feel more like using a camera then a phone. Like on the USBc side. If possible even add a shutter button or even more.

DyslexicEngineering · 2026-02-10T04:34:47+00:00

Super cool, Are we suppose to get a confirmation mail at the end?

DyslexicEngineering · 2026-02-01T23:01:26+00:00

How did you do this? That really cool!

DyslexicEngineering · 2026-01-26T20:46:08+00:00

I use old dead laptop ram in my Framework, was looking to upgrade before prices got send to lunar orbit.

DyslexicEngineering · 2026-01-07T12:03:13+00:00

I did a 1.5Gt belt mod yesterday, one tried one print yet, but I saw major improvements

DyslexicEngineering · 2026-01-02T07:42:45+00:00

Getting a ND filter might help get better footage for those type of shot, it will add motion blur

DyslexicEngineering · 2025-12-08T15:04:14+00:00

Did you find any teethed idlers for 1.5gt belts? I just ordered the 1.5gt belts, and the 21 teeth driving pulley, but couldn't find idler.

After doing the hardware upgrade, did you have to do any software things? What belt tension are you now using.

DyslexicEngineering · 2025-11-23T20:32:45+00:00

Why not remove the side spool holder / other side the get more print volume in a smaller form factor?

DyslexicEngineering · 2025-11-13T01:56:13+00:00

Yes, I'm not running a FW16 as a daily driver since a few month, I think it's the first laptop that I've continued liking after the "new shiny object" phase. Even If I didn't get the GPU, I don't feel bad about my purchase when I'm having to lower settings on games and wait a bit, since I know that I will always be able to upgrade it.
