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

Amazon link for GPS Module https://amazon.com/dp/B0D33SFFGF

Battery life estimates:

From my use, this is the approximate battery life you could get for each configuration

Reg case using 2000mAh battery without GPS:

10 -14 days (I have averaged 12 days 6 hours)

Reg Case using 2000mAh battery with GPS:

20-28 hours

Nano Case using 850mAh battery without GPS:

4 - 6 days (I have averaged 5 days 4 hours)

Nano Case using 850mAh battery with GPS:

8 - 11 hours

The 19003 board mounts using the included screws.

The lid attaches using some M2x8 screws. https://amazon.com/dp/B0D3X4LJD2

The antenna pictured: https://amazon.com/dp/B0DMN2T5C6

The internal antenna cases have a recessed slot on the inside walls to fit the included antennas.

This is the battery I used on the Reg case https://amazon.com/dp/B0DWFQPYDW

NOTE: This battery comes with the plug in the wrong polarity! Make sure to switch the wires around. Tutorial on repining:

As always, please verify the polarity of the battery connector!

@GhostCat07

omg thank you so much for releasing this. There arent that many compact portable RAK19003 cases out there and this is almost exactly what I was looking for. I also happen to have all the exact same components that I ordered for my build by coincidence. You the GOAT man. I will be using this as inspiration for my own design. Any chance you could release the raw F3D files? I would like to tweak the design to include a push button for putting the RAK19003 into deep sleep, add holes for mounting a walkie-talkie clip on the back, and add a loop for a carabiner. EDIT: Im dumb, I have never actually clicked the carat next to the "open in bambu studio" button, I found the CAD files. thanks so much!

Replying to @GhostCat07 :

Just saw this now. Those look great! Glad you are liking them!

@kpaynejr86

could you possibly make a charging dock with the stand you made?

The designer has replied

@BDGR

Yep I sure can. I’ll get working on one sometime today or tomorrow and reply here when it’s done

@BDGR

I have added a print profile and a Step file to the Node stand model that can act as a charging stand with a USB-C cable with 90 degree adapter. https://amazon.com/dp/B0BNMCMYNF https://makerworld.com/en/models/1975181-stand-for-slim-case-node-case#profileId-2124247

@MyShortCircuits

no power switch or button? so it cant be turned off / stored without the battery being empty?

The designer has replied

@BDGR

unfortunately this design doesn’t have a power switch. I am close to uploading a V2 version that has a power switch. I’ll let you know here when I do. should be in the next day or two

@BDGR

Just uploaded a V2 with a power switch! https://makerworld.com/en/models/2101517-roamer-node-v2#profileId-2600958
