</p><p>This build uses the LilyGO LoRa V2.1 to make a complete battery powered RNode using a simple 3D printed case that fits together with no screws required.

</p><p><span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Frameless"><img src="./_assets_/645c0875d8d4af6b8c85c39512036405/Lilygo-lora-ttgo-t3-v16-case.jpg" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="300" height="169" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="5184" data-file-height="2920"></span>

</p><p><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.printables.com/model/419876-case-for-lilygo-lora-ttgo-t3-v16-case">The case</a>, made by antirez on Printables is a simple snap fit enclosure that is printed in two pieces.

</p><p>For best quality and strength of your print, PLA+ or PETG is recommended. PLA+ is the easiest to work with on most consumer printers and provides moderate temperature resistance and strength.

</p><p>The case fits several types of 3.7 LiPo batteries. The one I used is a 1100 mAh 3.7v battery from brand MakerFocus. The batteries dimensions are 50 mm × 30 mm × 7 mm.

</p><p><b>When connecting batteries to any LoRa device, always check that the polarity on the Micro JST connector matches that on the board</b>. If they are mismatched, you can reverse the polarity on the socket of the MicroJST connector to match that of your board by simply swapping the wires (<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=za-azgbZor8">YouTube video</a>).

<p>You can find cases to print for LoRa devices on sites like <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.printables.com">Printables</a>, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.thingiverse.com">Thingiverse</a> and <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.yeggi.com">Yeggi</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Finding_antennas">Finding antennas</h3></div>

<p><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.digikey.com">DigiKey</a> is an electronics distributor that has a section for RF antennas that you can use with LoRa. You can filter antennas by frequency and most products listed will provide you with a datasheet that shows the SWR range.
