Bender was my wildly popular 3D printed case for the Heltec V3 LoRA radio node, there are over 5000 Bender's all across the world which blows my mind! (not a single return too!)

It's now time to reveal Bender2 (aka project "FatBot") which is the product of listening to feedback and slowly designing its evolution. At a glance it's classic Bender, but look closer and you see it's completely re-designed with:

New construction with split body design
Battery now completely enclosed secured with hex bolts/nuts
New power switch design with captive, secure button
Heltec GPS module mounting point
Three antenna positions (because why not)
Two battery configurations, single 18650 cell or four 18650 cells!!
Support for Heltec V3, Heltec T114 and Heltec V4

As with all my cases all hardware is included, just add your own Heltec board, battery and antenna!

Assembly is still super simple, only a 2.5mm Allen key and small Philips/cross head screwdriver are needed (I can provide the allen key, everyone has a screwdriver!)

Your purchase includes:

The Bender 3D printed case
18650 battery holder with power switch JST connector pre-installed
Female SMA cable
SMA Hex tool (for tightening the SMA cable nut!)

Important Battery Charging Information

The single cell 18650 battery option is a straight forward plug in and charge setup, charging happening only with the switch set to the on position.

The four cell 18650 holder is a parallel battery box. You therefore have to ensure:

Use matched capacity cells in all positions in the holder
Charge each cell individually to full capacity before inserting all cells

If you do these two steps you can then charge all cells going forward in Bender as the charges across each will be balanced.

Very happy, everything arrived as I hoped, perfectly packed, worth the money. looks nice on my desk

Another great case from Zero Fox 3D. Followed the video and everything went together perfectly. Totally recommend his works.

Very well designed and printed case. Have purchased for the second time. Will be back!

Brilliant design, excellent execution! Having had a Bender MK1 which was perfect for my use I naturally ordered another one when I had a spare heltec V3 that needed a home, however the Bender is now updated and it's just about perfect, the Heltec V3 fits snuggly but not too tight, the parts all fit together well and it is a matter of minutes to put it all together.

My second Bender I have purchased. I can't say enough about the quality, craftsmanship and overall shopping experience. If I could give zerofox3D 10 Stars —I would. Highly recommend!
