Ok, I did a very minimal amount of research. Looks like ecash is easily possible. Lightning might have issues because it expects instant lossless connectivity.

How hard is getting started on the 3D bit?

Well, I'm printing this using PETG which is a but more finnicky. I recommend you start with a small printer and PLA. See if you like it first and how far down the rabbit hole you want to go. There's some generallygoodd small 3d printers out there with minimal fuss. I got started on a Wiifun Tina2 (that thing is sold under many names). Printing other peoples models is pretty easy if you use a good slicer. I use Cura. It gets more advanced if you want to start using more heat or sun resistant plastics or other materials. Also more advanced is making your own models. My first custom print was parts on my Tina2 to repair my larger 3d printer, but they dont make it anymore and I dont recommend it. There's a spectrum there. Best to go in easy and find some utility, then decide if its worthwhile to invest more time and fiat.

Good work

Ok FoxByte SolarBlock is on the network. Ive got a 10dbi antenna on it I had purchased from someone else, it was meant for the helium network, but works fine in meshtastic range. I have it sitting on a chair outside. Its going to get mounted on top of the storage shed soon, just want to test it thoroughly before I make it less acceisble for repairs. We will see if the battery lasts all night tonight. Pictures tomorrow of the completed device and a report on if the battery is enough.
