Gridfinity Heltec Lora V3(Meshtastic) case (alpha)

by SeventhSeeker

Holds a Heltec Lora32 board and a battery. Does not include any outside access to any of the buttons. STEP files and permissive license provided.Everything should print on almost any printer with no supports. Things are rather carefully designed to avoid bridging. This is an alpha release for one reason, the SMA connector can spin when overtightened, because it's designed to work with the washers in their usual places, which doesn't allow for the usual hex recess design. There is an alternate, untested version of the case. meant for use with the original battery plate, not V2, which has the hex recess. You'll need to keep any SMA washers on the outside of the box, much like other designs. For the brave beta testers only!

Disable transmitting before swapping antennas, and only use protected batteries. Apply hot glue to the tiny coil antenna to protect it from getting broken off during assembly. Apply hot glue to strain relief the SMA side of the cable. Insert the battery, if any, into the main body. Use some Blu-Tak to prevent any sliding around and cushion any drops. Screw in the SMA connector to the housing. Connect the other end of the cable to the board.Cover the battery with the battery plate, the side
