There’s a fine line between stupidity & bravery; I’m not that brave either.
Seriously though even just give us the dimensions & the cutout dimensions for the SMA ports if you can, GL. We can always find someone with a 3D printer I’m sure.
not sure if a metal case is neccessary.
If the offer the dimensions for 3D printing, they could also manufacture the enclosure themselves and sell it 5-10 bucks.
I also don’t get why it’s called “development” board. Is it because there is no case included?
… or you could buy a board, design a case around it & throw it up on Thingverse as a F/OSS released design for everyone. After all, if someone wants metal while others are fine w/ acrylic, why not have the option of both?
I have a side project that I’m working on. It doesn’t involve the GL-iNet routers, just the the GL-M2. I have a custom carrier board with a RaspPi CM4 called the WLANPi Pro Project that has the 1/4"-20 mount for attaching accessories. I’m using the GL-M2 to survey private cellular networks and the mount made it easy to attach it to my Pi. No way was I mounting it without a case. Hence why I built that case.
I also just added the STL file that doesn’t have the 1/4"-20 mount hole for those who don’t want that part. It takes a little effort to get the two pieces to slide together. Put the board in the antenna holes of the top piece first, then slide it all together at the same time. Once joined they are pretty solid and no screws are needed. Taking it apart is a little harder though. Enjoy.
finally, the case was built and delivered. Sharkfi, thx again this is great work!
I added a little piece of plastic on top of the PCB board to prevent rattling of the board inside and taped the case.
