Modding a Framework Laptop into a three screen beast

The Framework Laptop computer has been a godsend for DIYers. Not solely does the modular design permit for fast and simple restore, however the swappable mainboard is a strong platform for all kinds of weird builds. Tons of tinkerers have used the modular mainboard design to create their very own cyberdeck designs. You don’t even want to purchase the entire laptop computer to do it!

DIY Perks has taken that to the following degree with this triple-screen laptop computer construct. Unhappy with the shortage of display screen actual property and poor ergonomics in most laptops, they used their abilities to cobble collectively a conveyable cyberdeck workstation.

The invoice of supplies for that is really fairly simple. The construct makes use of three screens (one 4K 120Hz panel and two iPad Retina shows) and some Adafruit adapters powered by modified DisplayPort cables that had been reduce open and had wires soldered on to them. They then 3D printed the case in elements (the mattress on their Prusa was not giant sufficient to accommodate the case), slapped and tremendous glued all of it collectively, and created an elaborate stand system.

The outcome is just not a lot a laptop computer as a conveyable pc meant to fold out onto a desk and be used with a keyboard and mouse on the appropriate ergonomic peak. And to high all of it off, the entire undertaking is open supply, so you can also make and modify it your self. I like bizarre designs like this.
