Description

LILYGO T-Dongle S3 Case w/ External Antenna Support

This is a compact, purpose-built enclosure for the LILYGO T-Dongle S3, designed to make things more aesthetically pleasing while utilizing the external antenna connector, making it a solid option for ESP32 projects where range actually matters. 

The case fully encloses the dongle while leaving proper access to the USB connector, screen, and i2c side port. 

The design is simple, sturdy, and print-friendly, with tolerances tuned for easy assembly without forcing or sanding. The antenna exits cleanly from the rear, keeping strain off the connector and avoiding weird angles that feel sketchy long-term.

 

Features:

  • Designed specifically for the LILYGO T-Dongle S3
  • External SMA antenna support for improved RF performance
  • Clear window for the onboard display
  • Compact footprint, no unnecessary bulk
  • Easy to print and assemble

Printing notes:
