UPFRONT!
I created a Discord channel for my Thermal vision builds but will add a #meshtastic channel there as well in case you have questions or problems. Please remain to the meshtastic channel for all sort of questions as all the other channels are ONLY for my thermal builds!

Added optional Battery cover with fast charging. Simply glue the PCB holder on the back cover, slide in the charging PCB. Parallel connect + and - to the BMS on the battery. route both cables in the recess on the back cover out of the cutout, solder wires to charging PCB. You can use some transparent printer filament to drive a very short piece of it into the round hole from the charging PCB cover for the below charging indicator light, looks much better then without it! Snap on the charging PCB cover and your done. 15 Watts fast charging!.
As the charging PCB can get quite a bit warm I would recommend to use PETG, PLA will still do but when charging and warming up there is a possibility of deforming if you happen to pull on the USB cable or apply pressure to the area of the charging PCB!

YES the side bars are not connected to the frame along the side! but only on both ends. It does nothing to the structural integrity of the case, I wanted to make it as flat as possible and that for I made it how it is. This is not an error as that line gets pinched in between both halves anyways so it is not seen nor does it cause any unwanted flex ITS OK!
Fits Antennas with a max of 10mm wide antenna base.
