Case for the smallest Bluetooth proxy with an external antenna

[sacred flare]

I made a case for an ESP32-C3 supermini with an external glue-on antenna. The range increase is amazing, and the result is tiny. Plus, it doubles as a night lamp for my dad (triggered by an array of external sensors). In the image, you can see it plugged into a Trådfri Zigbee router (one port of the USB charger = three uses :-))

Any comments appreciated (but if you're concerned about the polarisation of the antenna, please see the note on Printables first :-)).

thats pretty cool. i have been considering this kind of thing to upgrade my ESPressense setup which currently uses a cheap and nasty board which lacks precision i think mostly due to poor antenna (attached photo)

I actually think my design might be great for this as well, thanks to the polarisation of the antenna (I really played with this). If you end up printing my model, pls post a make to Printables. 🙂
