The most common kind is a compact case sized for one 18650 cell and the board itself, sometimes with a separate lid and screw posts. Larger housings take two cells side by side, which changes the footprint and the internal layout. A third group adds cutouts or pockets for a GPS antenna, a power switch or a battery holder, so the same board can be built in several configurations.

When choosing a file, read the author's description for the board revision and battery count it was drawn around, then check the wall thickness, the number of separate parts and how they join. Look at whether supports are needed, which screws or inserts the design expects, and which material and settings the author lists. Photos of real prints are the quickest way to judge clearances around ports, buttons and the antenna.

Search results improve if you vary the wording: try enclosure, housing, shell, node body or bracket instead of case, and add terms such as GPS, switch, tray or antenna. Related topics worth browsing include Meshtastic node builds, ESP32 LoRa boards, 18650 holders and replacement buttons or lids for an existing design. Combining the board name with the battery format usually narrows the list fastest.
