T-Beam 1W LoRa Case: Because Naked PCBs Deserve Better

So I got my hands on a T-Beam 1 Watt LoRa device and immediately fell in love with it. Then I looked for a case. There were two options. Two. For a device at the time. Unacceptable. So naturally, I did what any reasonable person with a 3D printer and a mild obsession does, I made my own. This is a two-part enclosure designed specifically for the T-Beam 1W, and it actually treats the hardware with the respect it deserves (not saying the other cases dont). Both the boot button and the customisable button are accessible via side-mounted button passthroughs, and there's a pinhole for the reset button because sometimes you just need to start fresh (we've all been there).

The good stuff:

🧲 Magnets built in, two 10mm × 3mm magnets are integrated into the back so you can stick it to any metal surface like the world's nerdiest fridge magnet. Van roof, server rack, filing cabinet, if it's metal, your LoRa node now lives there.

🔋 Charging stand included, there's also a base so you can prop it upright while it charges, instead of just leaving it sadly face-down on your desk like a device with no self-respect.

⚡ Battery that plays nicely, I'm using a battery (linked below) that lets the device stay powered on while charging through the battery's built-in charge port. No reboots mid-charge. Civilised behaviour.

🔩 Self-tapping screws, held together with 2mm diameter × 25mm self-tapping screws, because zip ties and prayers are not an engineering strategy.

🌬️ Air vents on deck, plenty of ventilation built in to keep things cool and quiet, because nobody wants a LoRa node that doubles as a hand warmer.

The options were slim, so I made something. You're welcome, Enjoy!

Thanks for this excellent design. I made hacked that very very basic case but this ticks all the boxes! Added Meshcore logo and grip. Nice!
