Meshtastic RAK19003 Wisblock Mini Slim case
Print Profile(16)
Description
I needed a slim case for a Meshtastic mesh node that I could easily carry in my pocket. I was tired of bulky nodes and wanted something smaller.
The Reg case squeezes in a 103450 lipo battery and the RAK19003 board. The Nano case takes a 102535 battery. I have options for an external antenna or a case that uses the included small antenna for a more compact node.
Also here is a stand for these cases if you want them standing up on your dash while driving etc.
Feel free to reach out to me at TheTinkerBadger@gmail.com with questions, suggestions, or if you would like to buy one ready-made.
I have added some files and print profiles that include space for a GPS module. Note that the cases are minimally larger.
The GPS module used is the RAK12500 https://store.rokland.com/products/rak-wireless-rak12500-gnss-gps-location-module-u-blox-zoe-m8q
