Gumshoe - Compact Meshtastic/Meshcore case for the FakeTec v5 & 18650

Features:

• Designed and tested specifically for the FakeTec v5 - YMMV with other boards

• Compact (ish) size while still housing an 18650 battery and with room for accessories

• Dedicated GPS antenna and circuit board holders

• Visually and tacitly distinct User and Reset buttons

  • Internal "nub" of the reset button can be shortened slightly with flush cutters to make it harder to press

• Buttons are integrated with the case front for reliable actuation with no sticking

• Extra space for other accessories (Buzzer etc)

• Snap together assembly, no tools required

• Inset below the antenna for adding a label

• The "Faketec_v5_Blank_Case_Back" is included for anyone who wants to use a different battery or make other modifications.

Printing:

• Printed with a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.2mm layer height

• No Supports required

• The front of the case has a thin section to accommodate the LORA module, make sure you get a good first layer to avoid any small holes

• If you get too much over extrusion on the first layers that can interfere with the buttons

Parts and assembly:

• For the FakeTec v5 boards, see https://github.com/gargomoma/fakeTec_pcb

• There are a couple slightly different versions of the LCD and they may have slightly different dimensions - I used the "SSD1315 Y B" from this link: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805784586367.html

• I used magnet wire to connect the screen and GPS due to its small size
