5-th September: Enclosure design ready!

A project log for WildDrone Locator

"Safety First!", we often hear. Mounted on a drone, this beacon says "I'm here!" in LoRa language.

Just as the title says: it's ready. I even created a logo. Probably not the most original logo: a paper plane and some arrows pointing at it. After all, it's a locator for small planes, right ?

Fig. 3: The bottom is fixed with screws to the top, but the holes are extruded directly from the bottom part. As they are not overlapping, the holes do not appear.

The logo extruded cuts will be filled with white epoxy. The button will also have an epoxy fill. most probably red. It will look like a record button, but hey, that's what it does in the end.

Let's hit the printer...
