I did some improvements of this awesome case. - Added one layer more (covers alternatives) to have a better endings when your bed generates better textures. With that also is reduced the supports requirements and the possibility to have more colors. (see the photos) - Two top cover alternatives: GPS full cover like the original design or in two parts. The last one improves the endings, see the logo photo. - Improved the screen frame, the original design with some screens force the ribbon flex cable - Added Meshtastic logo - Added the possibility of normal micro USB cable and also magnetic connector at 90 degrees - Added reset button alternative (short to improve unwanted resets) - Tested 18650 cover. (untested in the original design) ## Hardware - [TBeam specs](https://meshtastic.org/docs/hardware/devices/tbeam/) - [LilyGO Aliexpress](https://de.aliexpress.com/item/4001287221970.html) - [Oled screen](https://de.aliexpress.com/item/32922106384.html) - [Hex Nut 1/4](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B09PFP8GLZ) (you only need one) - [M2/M3/M4 Hex Socket Screws](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0BQHK9LVJ) - 18650 or Lipo battery ## Recommended setup: Better endings but needs glue. | File | Qty |Supports | Notes | |:-------------------------------------------------------|:-:|:--------:|:------:| | meshtastic_case_frame.stl | 1 | Yes | | | meshtastic_case_front.stl | 1 | Yes | | | meshtastic_case_GPS_cover.stl | 1 | | Glue | | meshtastic_case_cover_bottom.stl | 1 | | Glue | | meshtastic_case_button_action.stl | 2 | | | | meshtastic_case_button_reset.stl | 1 | | | | meshtastic_case_cover_top.stl | 1 | | Glue | | meshtastic_case_nut_lid.stl | 1 | | | | meshtastic_case_screen_frame.stl | 1 | | | | meshtastic_case_battery | 1 | Yes | | ## Tips - Be careful with the iron solder in the OLED screen, because the high there, is important. Please see the photos - The covers models was exported with the right position to improve the texture generated by the 3dprinter bed. - Be careful with the internal nuts that fixed the 1/4" nut in the bottom. Because when you removed these screws the nuts could down to the main board and damaged it. - Try to use better the middle or big square antennas, the original antenna from the TTGO TBeam is really bad.
