NodeMCU ESP8266 Enclosure

thingiverse

I designed this enclosure specifically for my HiLetgo ESP8266 NodeMCU (ESP-12E) that's loaded with WLED firmware, allowing me to control SK6812 RGBWW led strips under my kitchen cabinets. I connected my Home Assistant home automation server to the WLED so that I can easily control them using Amazon Alexa or Google Home to turn them on, off, dimm, or change colors. I've included product URLs on Amazon if you want to purchase the same parts from there. You can find more information about WLED, Home Assistant, or other home automation topics by checking out DrZzs' YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7G4tLa4Kt6A9e3hJ-HO8ng. I've provided two different lids for the enclosure. You can use either the "WLED" or "Esp" lid, and there's a small hole on the LED to show the WiFi status light. I removed the headers on my ESP8266, but left some extra room on the enclosure in case you want to keep them attached. UPDATE 2/1/2020: The first revision only works well without the headers attached, so I created a new version that's compatible with or without the headers and has a new lid design. Both are labeled as *v2.stl. You can use any of the lid files with either of the enclosure files, but only the v2 enclosure will fit the NodeMCU ESP8266 with the headers still attached. If you're unsure if your ESP is compatible, check out the photo I provided. I've tested it with the HiLetgo ESP8266 NodeMCU (ESP-12E). To order the same parts, refer to the Product_URLs.txt
