UPDATES
12.06.2026
I've corrected the battery terminal fit and added more clearance for the SMA connector, making antenna installation easier. The design is now working properly.
The battery cover is still a bit difficult to remove after installation. I'll update the model once I've improved this part of the design.

I've found some issues with the battery cover and how the 18650 battery contacts fit together. I'm in the process of adjusting the design.
Compact 3D printed enclosure designed specifically for the Meshtastic Faketec V5 board using a single 18650 Li-Ion cell.
The case is optimized around commonly available hardware and components to ensure proper fitment and easy assembly.
