Hey guys! Today, I want to show you my project called the "Flipper ESP32 Backpack."
When I bought my Flipper Zero, I thought it would be really cool to have a Wi-Fi dev board. However, when I saw the price, I decided it wasn’t worth it. After a month of using the Flipper Zero, I really wanted that Wi-Fi board, so I decided to create one myself.
I browsed Aliexpress for an ESP32 until I found one that I liked. I also bought an external antenna because I wanted to go big. A few days later, the components arrived. After a day of playing with them, I realized I couldn’t present them to the public in their current state.
I started to measure, design, and print. After a few prototypes, I achieved the results I wanted. The backpack holds the ESP32 perfectly, covers all unused pins, and allows for easy antenna attachment.
The ESP32 backpack was printed with PETG, though PLA would work well too.
After a month and a half, I noticed it was dangerous to carry the ESP32 backpack in my bag with other items. So, I designed and printed a case that holds the ESP32 backpack safely, providing ample space around it for protection.

And about printing, I strongly recommend printing just as it is in the picture.
