Bottom half remix for the NanoVNA "Worse Clone" by makeafix

Last crawled date: 3 years, 4 months ago

First off, note that virtually all NanoVNA's out there are Hugen's design. I don't think there are many edy555 designs out there, and the NanoVNA-F already has a case. Likewise the Hugen's NanoVNA-H4 and probably the other NanoVNA v2 also has a case. Anyway for those with the first gen NanoVNA-H hardware, a case would be nice.
So one of the first things I did when I got my 3d printer is print a case for my NanoVNA. Unfortunately it's one of the "worse clone" as Hugen puts it. It has a large 28mm x 55mm x 2.5mm shield that covers all three mixers together near the ports, and because of this poorly chosen shield, it also interferes with the original NanoVNA case by Hagster. Its haphazardly placed battery interferes with the case slightly as well.
Here is a remix that chops out those bits and pieces and more easily fits the "worse clone". Remember to use the top half, lid, and optionally stylus of Hagster's https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3818979 original or MrCircuitMatt's https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4645987 remix.
New version available that incorporates MrCircuitMatt's version of the bottom half-case. In theory it should now fit any version, clone or not, of the NanoVNA.
And if you're feeling lucky try https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4699617 Thingiverse Customizer for a custom lid for whichever top half you end up deciding to use. Note that the customizer lid is experimental. Please send feedback, even I haven't gotten a chance to test print it yet. Can't wait to see people have their own custom lids (if they didn't go and buy the H4 or others that came with a case...)
New version ... again (12/31): saw another suggestion, added to this remix (DFU button interference. My NanoVNA does not have a DFU button and its offset seems to be different so I made a big notch -- but I cut out the wrong side after staring at it. Now I cut out the correct side.
