Industrial Airtag holder

thingiverse

Hi All, I'm back with another Tinkercad design. I am experimenting with Airtag tracking of mobile industrial equipment and I could not find an existing case (Commercially or on Thingiverse) that suited my needs, so thought I would design one and share it with you. The link to the Tinkercad files are here: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/inMV4gkf4U2 A few things about the design: * Dimensions are 50mm W x 50mm L x 13mm H * The case is designed to be robust and can withstand a few physical blows. * The case can be made waterproof by dispensing RTV, silicone, polyurethane, or glue into the circular mating channel (noting that this will make the separation of the case at a later stage difficult). * The design mutes the speaker, but is not soundproof - the random chirping that occurs every few hours when the Airtag is away from its owner cannot be disabled. Instructions exist online on how to remove the Airtag speaker. * The Airtag fits snugly in the center of the case to prevent it rattling around. Four gaps have been left, to allow you to pry the Airtag out. * The case can be screwed or glued down to the device being tracked. * In one of my photo examples, I have screwed this case to a block of timber, but you can also use self-drilling/self-tapping screws to screw it to metal substrates. * If you are using double sided tape like 3M VHB to attach this case to your device being tracked, you can use metal thread screws (Flat head countersunk M3-05 x 12mm) and 5-6mm nuts to keep the top and bottom pieces together. * The case should be printed using non conductive material, as to not to create a faraday cage and impede the RF. (Eg: standard PLA, ABS, etc) Printed in PLA, with 20% infill.
