Beware of cheap underperforming clones

As of 2022 there are many badly performing clones on the market. V2/3GHz NanoVNA uses parts like ADF4350 and AD8342 which are costly and clones have been cutting costs by using salvaged or reject parts.

See official store and look for V2 Plus4/V2 Plus4 Pro versions only to avoid getting a bad clone. We have stopped selling V2.2 versions since October 2020, so all V2 hardware that are not Plus or Plus4 are not made by us and we can not guarantee performance.

A Ham friend (DM2CMB) has printed for me a very nice case, he used the files at
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4285813

Printing time was >6h.

I printed the case from EEVblog: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/nanovna-v2-aka-s-a-a-2/msg3099386/#msg3099386

It's made to house an 18650 cell for power and even has a nice stylus holder.

Cheers,
John

In the other thread Hugen posted photos of a new metal case for the V2
that will be available hopefully soon.

I downloaded the .stl files from thanksgivers and printed them. The
result is good, both sides fits perfect, the only thing missing is the 4
holes to show the LED´s, I have to drill them afterwards.

By the way, the Top.stl must be turned upside down before it is
processed and printed else the result is horrible!

I used red PLA for the case, you can tell which leds are lit through the
case.

Rather than invert the top I used scaffolding when I produced teh file for
the printer.

HCXQS group on Tindie offer a laser cut acrylic case.
The 3.8mm washers/spacers do not come with the case kit.
