Raspberry Pi 4 RAK2245 HAT Helium DIY Hotspot case

thingiverse

A DIY Case for the RAK2245 LoRaWAN HAT that fits snugly into a Raspberry Pi 4B. This low-cost enclosure serves as an alternative to the official rakwireless developer gateway, making it perfect for those on a budget. This case is designed specifically for my DIY Helium Hotspots, but its versatility makes it suitable for any project. The four cylinders fit precisely over the screw mounts, ensuring a secure hold. Future updates and additions are planned, including: - An I/O Shield cover to provide a weather seal - SMA Antenna holes for enhanced connectivity - A removable lid without the Helium logo To achieve optimal results when printing, use high-resolution settings with plenty of support. Remove any excess material carefully, as this will ensure a tight fit on top. My initial print was somewhat imperfect, resulting in warping at one corner of the top lid. To avoid this issue, be cautious during the printing process and take note of the fine snap-in-place mechanism. For maximum weather resistance, coat the case with primer and spray paint, and secure the I/O Shield cover in place using tape or a similar method.
