I don't have a Framework as I'm waiting for my Thinkpad to die before I buy one, but I've been following the hype train for a while.

Anyways, I always thought it would be a cool idea if Framework made a dual usb-c expansion card. Was reading a few threads where people were saying you can't because the components are too big along with other excuses. So I did a quick search on amazon/ebay and found this compact USB-C splitter that looks like it should fit within the dimensions of an expansion card! https://www.ebay.com/itm/404004568102

Anyone have any experience or know anyone who modified a mini usb-c hub like this to fit into a 3D printed expansion card?

$7.99 - you are lucky if that thing will even do USB3 on both ports. Let alone PD and Thunderbolt.

It only does sata on 1 port lop

To be fair, you will need to use 1 port for charging, anyway
