Case for Wio Tracker L1 + Meshnology 3000mah battery

This is a case for the Wio Tracker L1 from Seeed Studio which can fit the Meshnology 3000mah 755060 battery. Makes a good standalone Meshtastic device with the new firmware which has the virtual keyboard.

Update 6/12/2026: Added step files for extended version.

Update 12/23/2025: Added extended version for longer and thicker batteries (up to 69mm long, 52mm wide, and 10mm thick). Untested, print at your own risk.

Parts used:

• Seeed Wio Tracker L1 Development Board (with OLED display)

  • I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FNMKBM69

• Meshnology 3000mah 755060 battery

  • Was included in the kit above

  • Should fit any battery smaller than 61mm*70mm*50mm as well.

• Muzi Works 17cm whip antenna

  • Or any other antenna which is less than 10mm in diameter.

  • Get one with the appropriate frequency for your location

    • I am in the US so I bought a 915mhz antenna

  • I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D7D6866W

• UFL1 to SMA Female cable

  • You will need an adapter like this one to use standard SMA Male antennas like the one above since the included adapter is UFL1 to SMA Male.

  • I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C8LXZWNQ

    • The 5cm long one did work but I would recommend getting the longer 10cm version instead

• 3x M3 nuts

• 3x M3*10 socket head screws

• 4x M2*8 socket head screws

• Double sided tape

Printing:

• All parts are pre-oriented and print fine without supports.

• Use 0.16mm layer height on all parts for best results. 0.2mm also works but does not look as nice on the steep angles.

• 3 versions of the joystick with different clearances are included because the fit can be pretty finicky.

• A version of the front case which has 4mm*7mm holes for M3 heat set inserts is also included but is untested.

Assembly:

1. Poke out sacrificial support layer from all screw holes with small screwdriver bit or something

2. Insert M3 Nuts into their slots in the three corners.

   1. Can use a small amount of glue or tape to keep them from falling out

3. Install GPS antenna into its slot with double sided tape.

4. Install the SMA to UFL1 cable into its hole.

5. Install the antenna onto the SMA connector.

6. Slide the joystick cover onto the joystick on the Wio Tracker L1

   1. May need to ream out hole in the joystick cover to create the best fit

7. Slide the power switch cover onto the power switch on the Wio Tracker L1

8. Place the reset button and the front button into the front case

9. Hold the front case at an angle to keep the buttons from falling out and slide the Wio Tracker L1 in

10. Connect antenna cables to their ports on the Wio Tracker L1

11. Screw in the PCB cover and ensure that no antenna cables are pinched under it

12. Test the joystick to ensure that it works properly and is not stuck

    1. Disassemble and sand the contact areas between the joystick cover and the front case if it is stuck or does not click nicely

13. Connect battery and secure it to the PCB cover with double sided tape

    1. Ensure that the antenna is installed before doing this to avoid damaging the radio
