Description

This is a minimalist case for the Heltec Wireless Tracker. I have remove the antenna cover to integrate it into the housing. I like to have a physical power switch as well, but if folks dont want that I can make a variant that removes it. Enjoy!

This build requires two M3 5-8mm screws, two M3 hex nuts (square should also work), and two M2 4mm screws to attach the switch. This thing is very power hungry at the moment so I used a large battery. I also removed the black plastic cover from the antenna, but if you think you'll ever want to use it again outside the housing you can trim the length of the cover down and reinstall it. I've attached a picture just because it is cute. The length of the cover is misleading, the antenna is much shorter. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Instructions:
- I iron the top of the buttons, so they are nice and smooth, the rest shouldnt need ironing if you print it face down. 

- When placing the buttons the larger portion should be inside the case, with the flat side against the usb port. (See attached images)

- I found starting the screws in the switch before attaching helped, having them fall off constantly when trying to attach to the case was frustrating. 

- When preparing the battery CUT ONE WIRE AT A TIME! The battery should come partially charged and all the magic smoke will come out. I complete the positive wire before starting the negative, but you can do either first. Just do one side at a time and make sure it's all protected again before you cut the other.

- I used a bit of foam from the shipping clam shell to keep the antenna from having any rattle.

- When you're ready for the bottom screw place the radio on its face so that the nut is down where it needs to be (see attached photo). The top hex nut slot is tighter and wont require this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've also attached my inspiration for the case. I knew I would design one myself, but I needed something to keep it safe in the mean time. I frankenstein'd the clam shell it came in and found my muse. Enjoy!
