This is a small/"mini" case for the Heltec v3 boards, designed with the Meshtastic project in mind (https://meshtastic.org).

There are five models required for a complete case, as well as socket head cap screws and a SMA antenna pigtail cable; refer to the parts list below.

2. Four (4) M3 nuts
3. Battery: https://www.amazon.com/MakerFocus-Rechargable-Protection-Insulated-Development/dp/B0867KDMY7 or similar size 1000-1100mAh battery (47mm x 30mm x 8mm / 1.41" x 0.84" x 0.23" (LxWxH)

There are multiple versions of the Heltec-v3-mini_front-xxx model, including noscreen versions (no need to remove the screen, it's just covered up).

I've also included the SVG file for an optional laser-cut acrylic window using 1mm or 1.5mm acrylic.  If you want one but don't have a laser cutter I sell them on my Etsy store.
