3 Cases for Meshtastic or Meshcore Node Based on Heltec v3 with up to a 3000mah battery.

Created for the Heltec V3 LoRa 32.

Extra hardware required:
4 x M3x6mm (6mm minimum).
Heltec V3 LoRa 32

This set of cases should be easy to print on basic printers, I started out with an Ender5 which means all my designs going forward should play nice on any 3d fdm printer.

I couldn't really find a case design that was able to hold a larger 3000mah battery so I decided to create my own pocket friendly design, and I ended up drawing up 3 designs to accommodate different antennas.
  
MT-INT-Ant = Meshtastic with internal antenna - has internal space for the small heat shrink coil type.
MT-STD-Ant = Meshtastic with standard antenna - Side mounted, for the stubby ant, can work with larger.
MT-TOP-Ant = Meshtastic with top antenna - Top mounted, should work with any antenna or cable.

This is work in progress.

Features:
All have loop on base to allow attachment of things like carabineers or lanyards.
Raised prg button.
Power/charging port hole.

Notes:
If you can print buttons in a light colour, this will allow the indicator led on the heltec to shine through.

Needs:
I could do with adding a power switch. At the moment its a straight board to battery always on setup.

Building/putting together:
Place buttons in holes with connecting bar to top (end without button holes), Slot board in from top, push down while pressing on the lower end of the buttons to make the bar dip allowing the usb port to pass over. 

Printing:
Normal pla will work fine, but use your favourite filament.
Requires supports, .
Your normal infill setting will work (I used 20%).

Images:
Printed on a snapmaker u1, normal settings, sunlu pla 2.0.
