#Warning to #meshtastic and #reticulum users who are #3dprinting add-on battery compartments for the stock Heltec v3 cases: the one on printables is TINY.

It doesn't even really have enough room for a 750mAh battery (which, BTW, probably comes with the power connector for a drone, not a #Heltec). The 750mAh #battery can be jammed in there, but we all know that's a bad idea if you want the battery to last. The #thingiverse add-on is very much form over function.

I may create my own design that is function over form.

Sunday is my day off, where I have no obligation to myself or anyone else to be productive. So what did I choose to do today?

Design an addon case for the #Heltec v3 that can actually fit a decent sized battery. It's printing now.

Furthermore, it's modular, so you can just change the dimensions of your battery and it'll automatically update the model to fit whatever battery you have. Can't do that with an STL! #FreeCAD for life.

Would you be so kind to send me the model, please?

I'm struggling a little with #FreeCAD and could use a completed design to understand the construction better

I want to make sure it actually works in practice before I give it out. Remind me again next week and I should have it debugged by then and I can hook you up.

You got it. I'm looking forward to it
