    I have a couple t-beams and some wisblock based nodes as well. I would recommend the wisblock over the tbeams because you’ll get much much better battery life and a more compact package.

    The downside is you’ll have to build it out to some extent - wisblock system is designed to be very adaptable so there’s lots of options. But all you’d need to get started is a battery, antenna, and the meshtastic kit

    Very cool! I’ve been messing with meshtastic on and off but with no one else in range it gets a little boring 😕

    Been meaning to test ATAK as well but too many hobbies and not enough time unfortunately

    I was also looking into LoRaWAN for a higher data rate backbone/hub but haven’t made it to the point of obtaining any hardware yet.

    Another thing I want to play with is some higher powered data stuff in the 2m/70cm bands once I get an all mode radio for those frequencies, HF is fun but not very fast 😂

    I have an entry level 3d scanner (creality ferret pro) and it’s a lot more work scanning objects than it is to take the measurements and reverse engineer it from scratch. The big things that the scanner helps me with is matching surfaces (like a helmet for example, hard to measure round shapes with no good reference points) or for artistic prints (mini statue of yourself, anyone?)

    The piece pictured doesn’t look super complex, I would think you could model it fairly quickly once you get the hang of a decent cad program.

    I use Siemens Solid Edge community edition, it’s free and has everything I need and more.
