Digimon Digivice Inspired Heltec V3 Case for Meshtastic

I watched the Digimon movie recently (Last Evolution Kizuna, it was a sad ending…) but thought to myself that the digivices have 3 buttons, what if I made a case that looked like one that worked for a heltec V3?

This is the prototype version for the case that I had designed, and am releasing for free here on printables. It works as a case, but there are some minor flaws that make it not a sellable product imo that were improved later in my design that I am now selling on Etsy.

Also this version of the case only accommodates a spring antenna, so while it looks more accurate to the anime, it probably won't get the best transmission strength. I guess good enough to cosplay with and use at a convention. 

Print instructions: For the prettiest results, print the top with the face upwards with tree supports. Unfortunately there will be a lot to remove. I find printing the buttons on the side with supports gives me the best fit with the case, otherwise the buttons may be hard to click. 

Parts list:

I bought this kit, https://www.amazon.com/ESP32-V3-Module-1000mAh-Battery/dp/B0D5CSN8X4 that could fit the board and battery. It'll give you 6-10 hours of runtime depending on how busy the LoRa traffic is in your area. 

Also needs an M3x16 screw to hold the halves together.
