Whether you want a full-sized desk companion or a minimalist setup, Meshbuddy has you covered:
The Full Buddy: Use the whole body to give your node some serious personality.
Standalone Head: The head is designed to work perfectly on its own—ideal for tight spaces, shelves, or a clean office aesthetic.
Key Features
Precision Fit for Heltec: Optimized specifically for Heltec hardware to ensure a snug and secure fit.
Crystal Clear Monitoring: The custom frame provides 100% visibility for the OLED screen and status LEDs, so you never miss a message or a node update.
