With all that said, now on to the models…
This is a water resistant case for RAKwireless RAK19007 WisBlock kits, designed with the Meshtastic project (https://meshtastic.org) in mind. It will accommodate the RAK19007 base board plus the RAK4631 (LoRa) and RAK12500/1910 (GNSS/GPS) modules.
Required hardware:
- TPU rubber filament for the body/cap gasket
- Two (2) M2x10mm socket head cap screws
- Two (2) M2x4mm screws and M2 nuts (or use M2.5 screws included with RAK kit)
- One (1) lithium ion battery pack (up to 103450 battery size code): https://www.amazon.com/2000mAh-Rechargable-Protection-Insulated-Development/dp/B08T6QS58J
- JST PHR-2 polarity battery connector: required to connect the above MakerFocus battery to the RAK19007 baseboard as the included battery connector is incompatible. Will require soldering.
Options:
- antenna boots: print using TPU; choose the size appropriate for your antenna
- internal-antenna models: uses the RAK PCB antenna included in the RAK kit; place a small drop of superglue at the tip of the PCB antenna, then insert into the slot on the inside of the internal-antenna case body
- cap-magnet model: integrates a void to fit two magnets stacked (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075WV5HPH); add a ‘layer pause’ command in your slicer program, drop in two magnets then resume the print to embed the magnets and make your case cap magnetic
Notes:
- I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DEVICES DAMAGED BY WATER OR OTHERWISE ANY USE OF THIS CASE
- While I don't want to explicitly claim this case is waterproof for liability reasons, I can absolutely claim it is water resistant. I have submerged the case for 90 minutes under 6 inches/15 cm of water and the interior remained dry. I had to force it underwater since it floats, so total submersion really is not a problem and probably won't happen unless it's deliberate.
