Context:
I was looking for a case for the Heltec V3 LoRa board to use with meshtastic, and I had pretty much determined the cases by @tonyg were the best option, but I wanted one that could be more weather resistant. This case is a first step towards that. It is designed so that the only openings are situated at the top and can be covered with a TPU insert (not created yet) but still retain button functionality.
The buttons are still operational because they work off a rocker switch that sticks out the top.
Print tips:
- You need two rocker buttons, and one must be mirrored
- Print the front plate face down. A textured bed makes it look nicer
How to assemble:
- Use pliers to force the rocker buttons into the top of the front plate. A drop of oil helps too.
- Take the board and put it in the board holder. It should friction fit.
- Attach the antenna mount to the back plate and tighten it down.
- Plug the antenna connector onto the board.
- Put in the battery and connect the leads to it however you can.
- Friction fit the board holder into the front plate.
- Plug the battery in.
- Add some padding (I used crumpled paper) to make sure the battery can't move.
- Fold the two halves together making sure all the wires stay inside and are not pinched.
- Fasten the halves together with 3x M2x20 and 1x M2x16 screws/nuts.
I haven't experimented with waterproofing yet but the idea is to put some silicone around the edges of the two halves and make a TPU insert to keep the plug and sides of the buttons covered.
