Often the thought in the back of our mind, after we worked hard to mount that solar Meshtastic node in a hard to reach location: “Did my IPEX pigtail pop off the mount due to it being loose, or too much tension on it?” and “Is my un-attached bluetooth and LoRa antennas burning holes in my transmitter?”.

 

This will snap into place on a RAK4631 mounted to any of these boards:

  • RAK19007
  • RAK19003
  • RAK5005-O

 

While it will give insurance just by itself, i've also added the option to add m2 screws to further tighten the IPEX connectors. Works with m2 x 4mm machine screws or longer. Recommend nylon over metal machine screws for best antenna performance.

 

Settings:

  • Print sideways orientation for strength
  • PETG filament or better if it's going to be outdoors
  • Don't use carbon fiber
  • 0.16mm Layer Height
  • 3 Wall loops
  • 15% Gyroid infill
