RAK 5005 case for Meshtastic

thingiverse

This is a case for a RAKwireless RAK 5005-O WisBlock base board, designed with the Meshtastic project (https://meshtastic.org) in mind. It will accommodate the RAK5005-O base board plus the RAK4631 (LoRa), RAK1910 (GNSS/GPS), RAK13002 (IO), and RAK18001 (piezo buzzer) modules. I also sell this case on my Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/QuantumShadow3D There are seven files required for a complete case, as well as socket head cap screws and micro push button switches; refer to the parts list below. ###UPDATE (Feb 2, 2022): - Added *RAK5005_Case_Frame_no-power-button* model since Meshtastic firmware now supports soft-power off via 10 second push of the PRG button. - If you don't have the RAK13002 IO board to use a PRG button, use the regular *RAK5005_Case_Frame* model that supports the hard-wired power on/off switch. UPDATE (25 Jan 2022): - Added models to support adding a PRG (user) button - Added front/back covers with various patterns (dots, hexagons, ribs) Required hardware: - Four (4) M3x20mm socket head cap screws - Four (4) M3 nuts - Two (2) M2.5 screws (to secure RAK board to frame) - Two (2) M2.5 nuts - One (1) latching (not momentary) micro push button switch: https://amazon.com/gp/product/B086L2GPGX - One (1) LiPo battery pack: 1,200mAh from https://www.adafruit.com/product/258 - One (1) momentary micro push button (for PRG): https://amazon.com/gp/product/B07C7211PJ ###Minimum required model files: - RAK5005_Case_Back-<your choice> - RAK5005_Case_Button-plate - RAK5005_Case_Button-RST - RAK5005_Case_Frame - RAK5005_Case_Front-<your choice> - RAK5005_Case_Screen-insert-<your choice> ###Extra models/variations: - RAK5005_Case_Back-med/-tall variants - RAK5005_Case_Front-blank and no-screen variants - RAK5005_Case_Front-PRG variants (to add a PRG button) - RAK5005_Case_Screen-insert-PRG (for use with PRG button/front) - RAK5005_Case_Screen-insert-ID (add your own text; no PRG button) - Multiple case patterns for front and rear case covers ###Radio stands: There are multiple versions of the radio stand, with and without logos: - Standalone desktop version of the stand to support a single radio - Wall-mountable horizontal version - Wall-mountable vertical version - Modular version to create an expandable, interlocking bank of multiple radio stands ##Notes: - With regular back cover max LiPo battery dimensions: 34mm (W) x 62mm (L) x 5mm (H) - Wire the latching push button switch in-line with the battery wires, to turn power on/off; the RAK board does not have an integrated power switch - Wire the momentary push button switch to GND and IO5 pins on the RAK13002 IO board - *RAK5005_Case_Screen-insert-ID* provides space for a radio ID or other text - *RAK5005_Case_Back-med* and *-tall* allow use of larger LiPo battery packs
