prusaprinters

This is a ruggedized, waterproof enclosure for RAK19007/4630 Meshtastic devices.  It features an external helical GPS antenna for improved reception under thick canopy conditions as well as a Fischer 102 waterproof connector for charging/ data as I could not locate any compact, easy to integrate waterproof USB C connectors.This is an expensive feature rich build that will require some soldering for the Fischer connector.The main body, board carrier and front cover have been printed in Polymaker PA6-CF.The O-ring was printed in 95A TPU.I have included a design of the socket i used to install the nut onto the Fischer connector. Parts:IP67 SMA Connectors:https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/gradconn/CABLE-161-RF-100-A-1/9859840Linx dipole antenna:https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/te-connectivity-linx/ANT-916-CW-HW-SMA/2694126SMA external GPS antenna:https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/kyocera-avx/1002857/60491863700 mAh Battery:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08215B4KKFischer 102 0F 5 pin socket (knockoff)/ Fischer 102 0F 5 pin cable connector (knockoff):https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256804237075027.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.46acf19cc5xQT2Fischer 102.1951 sealed receptacle plug kit:https://www.ebay.com/itm/133061804258M3x12mm Black oxide coated stainless steel SHCS:https://www.mcmaster.com/90348A007/M3 threaded inserts.M2.5 threaded inserts.3mm acrylic rod for charging and status light pipes.Some thin double sided tape to secure battery under the board holder.A USB C type cable that you can cut up.
