Description

This is the tiny, convenient, cheap, easily-EDC-able meshtastic module I've wanted since I got into these silly little radios 8 months ago.  I kept waiting for somebody to make it (NextGen3D's case was close), but finally I decided to be the change I wanted to see in the world.

Designed around the FakeTec DIY meshtastic module (which you can build for about $10 worth of parts), the enclosure measures just 40x20x73mm (1.5x0.8x2.9in) and weighs exactly 2oz (56g) fully built with a baofeng belt clip.  The printed enclosure consists of only two printed clamshell pieces, and both can be printed using a mere 16g of filament in less than 45min on a good printer.

There's no display, no buttons, and no accommodation for the LEDs.  It's dead simple on purpose.  You have the option of adding a power switch, or not.  It's designed to use an internal pigtail LoRa antenna and a PS4 controller battery (good for ~3 days with the FakeTec).  Clip this to your belt like a pager and pretend it's the 90s again.

 

Print the two halves as provided at 0.2mm layer height.  No supports needed.  ABS/ASA recommended, but PETG is probably sufficient.  Baofeng spring-loaded belt clips are readily available on amazon and aliexpress, or you can print a basic one like this.  The blind holes for the belt clip screws are sized for the m2.5 screws that come with the clips, but m3 will fit if you put a little effort into it.  The power switch version is designed around this switch, and will require two M2x4mm screws to secure it in place.  PS4 controllers used one of two different connectors depending on age - either 1.25mm pitch or 1.0mm pitch JST connectors.  Most aftermarket batteries have both, so you can pick and choose which connector you want to attach to your FakeTec.
