I added a flange to Frog Box V2 that allows it to be used as a device enclosure for Voltaic Enclosures V1 panel mount.

Edit: I recommend using this newer project I designed around NEMA box instead of using the Frog Box enclosure. I've had many of these enclosures crack.

This is only a remix of Frog_Box_Seal. It requires the other Frog Box V2.0 parts (hinges, latch parts, lid, seal) from here:

You need the panel and mount brackets and a bracket plate spacer from here:

I recommend reading the instructions for those 2 projects. 

I've had a couple of these crack not being careful when I drilled them for cables / connectors. I added 2 additional files with holes in the print for PG7 cable gland and N-type or SMA pigtails. The holes for PG7 and SMA are slightly undersized, as I prefer to tap them. (SMA uses ¼" 36tpi tap, PG7 uses PG7 tap). If not using my hole sizes, I recommend adding holes as needed in slicer or CAD instead of drilling.

I added new backing plates. They are a remix of Backing Plate Bracket.stl from boombatz Enclosure bracket for 6w Meshtastic setup. It allows you to use 5/16 x 2" (common size at US hardware stores) or 52mm Ubolts. The second backing plate allows you to use a 1" strap (racheting or cam) to attach to a larger pole. The third allows magnetic mount using these Magnetpro mounting magnets:
Magnetpro 4 Pieces Strong Rubber Coated Mounting Magnets Anti-Scratch & Anti Corrosion, Over 30 LB Adhesive Power, with 1/4"-20 Stainless Steel Male Thread

vv1_backing_plate_3pvc_cap
Is a backing plate to slide on 3" schedule 40 PVC vent pipes (3.5" pipe OD")
