Held together without any solder ^^
Uses an old phone battery for power and is housed in the box that the heltec v3 hardware was shipped in. Unfortunately I had to bend a row of pins to fit it in the box with the battery, but this is only because on my model the two rows of pins are already soldered in. Normally they should be included extra I think.
I am seeing lots of other meshtastic devices, but haven’t yet managed to send a message. Maybe I am not in a good location or I need a better antenna.
Kinda want to buy a second device just for messing around with two of these ^^
I highly recommend buying off of aliexpress directly.

Nice. Where abouts are you. I would love to see more of this stuff available.
Isn’t the mesh size limited?
Your post just made me learn about meshtastic/lora. Seems like pretty interesting stuff, what do you use it for?
For now I use it mostly for exploring meshtastic and trying to send a single message to someone else in the network xD
Check out mqtt until you get nodes around you, the main channel will bogg down a heltec v3 but you should be able to find one for your city/state/area.
But chatting through the internet kind of defeats the point imo.
Also I tried to connect to mqtt but it did nothing. Do you have instructions for dummies how to set it up? I used the meshtastic module config docs and it didn’t work ^^
