THIS IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD OF 3D-PRINTABLE FILES. PURCHASE A PHYSICAL KIT HERE.

Features:

• Three enclosure “tube and clamp” versions for various configurations and printer types:
  • “Short” (156mm tall) for a node without a cavity filter
  • “Long” (300mm tall) for a node with a cavity filter (requires larger printers with at least 300mm print height, e.g. Creality K2 Plus)
  • “Split” (300mm tall) for a node with a cavity filter (for smaller printers)
• Two enclosure “end cap” versions to compliment top- or bottom-feed inputs (power/data):
  • “Solid” for installations with bottom-feed cable routing
  • “Passthrough” for installations with top-feed cable routing
• Designed for mounting to a round type antenna mast (typ. 37-45mm diameter)
• Intake tubes and exhaust vent for passive cooling (fanless), or active cooling utilizing a 40mm exhaust fan
• Printable without supports when oriented according to included printing tips
• IMPORTANT: Antennas over 12″ in length should also be clamped directly to the mast pole to prevent stress fractures or failure of the enclosure’s top end cap.

We recommend printing with ASA filament (excellent UV resistance) for outdoor use. Requires brass threaded inserts and socket-head stainless hardware. Bulkhead fittings (power/data and antenna) are optional with purchase but required for use of this enclosure.

Weather resistant when mounted in the correct orientation (vents facing down).

Necessary hardware:

• M6x8x6 Heat-Set Insert Brass Knurled Nuts (Qty: 4) for Enclosure Clamp Mounts Amazon
• M6x8x8 Heat-Set Insert Brass Knurled Nuts (Qty: 8) for End Cap Mounts Amazon
• M3x8x5 Heat-Set Insert Brass Knurled Nuts (Qty: 4) for Antenna Bulkhead Mounts Amazon
• M3x3.5×5 Heat-Set Insert Brass Knurled Nuts (Qty: 4) for Exhaust Fan Mounts Amazon
• M6x10 Hex Socket Head Cap Screw Bolts (Qty: 4) for Enclosure Clamp Amazon 
• M6x12 Hex Socket Head Cap Screw Bolts (Qty: 8) for End Caps  Amazon
• N (female) 4-Hole Panel Flange to SMA (male) Bulkhead Connector (Qty: 1) Amazon

IMPORTANT! Antenna Cable (internal) options:

• If you are using a Raspberry Pi with node hat (no cavity filter) in the “Short” enclosure, you will likely need the SMA (female) to IPX/u.fl cable. Amazon
• If you are using a Station G2 (no cavity filter) in the “Short” enclosure, you will need the SMA (female) to SMA (male) cable. Amazon
• If you are using either node with suggested Acasom cavity filter, in the “Long” or “Split” enclosure, you will need the SMA (female) to SMA Push-on (male) connector. Amazon

IMPORTANT! Power/Data Bulkhead options:

This STL package includes multiple variations of the bottom enclosure cap, allowing the user to select different combinations of I/O ports.

• If you want USB-C input power/data, you will need the USB-C to USB-C weatherproof bulkhead connector (Qty: 1) Amazon
• If you want RJ45 (PoE) input power/data, you will need the RJ45 to RJ45 weatherproof bulkhead connector with cable boot (Qty: 1) Amazon
• If you want DC (2-wire) input power, you will need the 2-Pin weatherproof bulkhead connector with cable boot (Qty: 1) Amazon

For use with the following components (not included / sold separately):

• One of the following nodes (required):
  • B&Q Consulting Station G2 kit B&Q Consulting Shop
  • Raspberry Pi with node hat (e.g. wehooper4’s “NewtPi” hats)
    (Note: PoE is the recommended power/data method when utilizing a Pi-based node, to minimize cabling.)
• Acasom “indoor” cavity filter with SMA (female) input and SMA (female) output (optional) Acasom
• Antenna with Type-N (male) connector (required)
