Description

Solar car node to fit the Heltec V4, (I'll add a blank bottom as well so you can use double sided tape and add whatever board you want) I needed a larger top to fit the 18650 batteries in so I extended it slightly. The original TPU gasket is in the files and still works great and you can use whatever other bottom you need from the original. I printed in ABS, 25% infill at a 45 degree angle with tree supports. Secured the battery pack and GPS with double sided tape and hot glued the antenna cable in place so it cant pop off. Used a small bit of silicone to waterproof the point the solar panel wire comes in and wrapped the antenna on top so it doesn't rust.
