Meshtastic DIY 3D printed case for RAK Wireless/Wisblock 19007

DIY meshtastic 3D printed case project for the RAK wireless /wisblock 19007 base board.
If you are interested to print the case for yourself, the STL files can be downloaded from printables.com, #item : 870329-case-for-rak-wireless-19007-meshtastic-board
The Lipo battery for this case is a 1000 mAH from Makerfocus (it will probably work with any other brand as dimensions are more or less standard for a given capacity)
The Meshtastic board is the one sold by RAKWireless in their Meshtastic starter kits or you can also buy it separatetly, model 19007

Great design. Thank you for STL

Very elegant design. I have a RAK Starter Kit on the way that I'd intended to use with a solar panel and battery as the Heltec V3 doesn't last overnight. I'm tempted to order another starter for a pocketable unit.
A question: How long does the 1000mAH battery last?

[@PoweredMeshtasticEurope]

Thx. A 1000mAH battery won't last very long with a Heltec V3 board, depending on your usage intensity. If it just sleeps most of the time (is not used inten sively) it will last a few days. Basically such "mobile" oriented nodes are supposed to be charged as often as your smartphone and use a USB plug at every occasion you have (so that your mobile node is always ready to go).

Thanks for supporting Meshtastic. By the way is it possible to get the FCStd file?

[@PoweredMeshtasticEurope]

File has been added to printables

Doesn't carbon fibre block RF?

[@PoweredMeshtasticEurope]

It would surely with real carbon fiber plates/elements. In this case the PLA-CF plastic is the standard PLA enriched with some CF fibers in a very low density. The CF addition is more of a gimmick that adds to a better surface apperance (you see less the printing layers thanks to the "fuzziness" of the fibers). I do not believe it really impacts the RF, but could be tested for sure (if I have time)
