Battery Space: Fits standard flat LiPo batteries (approx. 2000mAh - 3000mAh) above the Heltec V4.
Design: Added icons for a visual representation of ports.
- Added a popout above the USB-C to allow for the strange foward facing battery ports on Heltec V4's.
- Screen cut out to view the screen when sitting on a table or phone.
- Interior separators to make sure the Battery and Heltec v4 get put in the right place.

General Print Settings:

Material: PLA+ or PETG recommended
IMPORTANT: “Print Thin Walls” or “Detect Thin Walls” MUST be on in order for the battery charger cut out to print properly. (Included in the presliced print profile)
Infill: 15-20% Gyroid.
Supports: It prints completely fine without supports, however if you want the best quality around the ports you may want to enable them.

Remixes are welcome! Just remember to credit :)

I got one without a screen and 2000mah battery so I'm gonna try to keep them above each other, and keep it as flat as possible like this probly

@debuggd

awesome! I had to make this chonky to fit the 3k mah battery + the heltec on top (stacked) but you could definitely modify it to flat / side by side like that photo. Best of luck!

How does the cover stay attached? Thanks

Sorry for the late reply lol, I used hot glue in mine since that's what I had available, but when testing I was also able to screw in some tiny screws into the sides to hold it down.
