GPS Antenna Housing (SMA) – Budget Alternative

This 3D model is a screw-off GPS antenna housing designed to hold a low-cost GPS module inside. The removable top provides quick and easy access, so you can install or replace the internal antenna without buying expensive external GPS units.

It’s a practical alternative to commercial GPS antennas, which often cost around 7× more than the inexpensive modules available online. The model includes an SMA thread, giving it the look and compatibility of a standard GPS antenna.

I used this enclosure for a Meshtastic node, where it works as a clean, compact, and affordable GPS solution.

Supports needed.
