Description

Checkout my enclosure and accessory collection for RAKwireless WisBlock, WisMesh Meshtastic and MeshCore devices ==> RAKwireless Origins.
All my models come with STEP files and Fusion 360 project files for customization.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This enclosure is an(other) outdoor enclosure for WisBlock.

The enclosure is not using any gaskets, it is inspired by the Takachi OB enclosure series. It is “rain-proof” if mounted in the correct orientation. This means, there is no IPxx rating, you cannot submerge this enclosure into water, but it has proven to withstand heavy rains, even with gist coming nearly horizontal against the enclosure walls.

It is improved based on my experience with its predecessors RAK WisBlock Outdoor concept WisMesh Repeater and RAK WisBlock Outdoor concept wide.

As used outdoors, it is strongly recommended to print with PETG, ABS, ASA or other materials that can withstand higher temperatures and UV exposure.

For assembly, please check the provided assembly guide, as some parts can be tricky to understand, specially the ways the antenna and the solar panel is connected.
