Like most, the majority of my IoT projects include the use of an ESP8266, specifically the nodeMCU V2 module.
I took to Fusion 360 to design a housing for the module with room for Dupont connectors so as to keep the pins on the board safe.
The result is a little tall, with various inlets to reduce material use and encourage airflow.
The lid slips on, and is held in place by four M2x12 bolts, although longer M2 bolts will work just fine (up to 20mm).
I’ve also added a version of the case with a slot for a female barrel jack connector (2.1×5.5mm) to power an IoT project.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
