Human: **WARNING**: Thingiverse is experiencing difficulties publishing this design. Until the issues are resolved, the formatting will appear unconventional. I have modified the content where feasible to circumvent the problems, but there remain some formatting anomalies. This is a slanted box for compact projects featuring a 2.4" TFT display. I created it for use with Wemos D1 Mini 2.4" TFT shield, which can typically be found here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32919729730.html This unit pairs well with a Wemos D1 Mini ESP8266 since the D1 can be mounted directly to the display without any additional wires or mounting hardware. It can be found here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32529101036.html This model consists of two components: 1. A box which is the primary container 2. A bottom for the box which attaches with 3 m3 screws The box has a small hole on the left side that aligns with the position of the reset button on a D1 Mini mounted to the display. There is also a guide shaft in the box so you can reset the D1 Mini using a paper clip. A .STEP file has been included to make it easier to modify or remix this design. **NOTE**: Modular variant of this design can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4413894 **POST-PRINTING** Decide how you want to power the unit. There is a recess in the rear of the box through which you can route a power cable. You can use a small right-angle micro-usb cable and connect it directly to the D1 Mini for power and to program it. This cable is available in various lengths and fits perfectly inside the enclosure: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CBTVR8G/ Mount the screen with (4) m2 screws. Route your power cable out the back, then attach the bottom using (4) 4mm or 6mm m3 screws. The box extends below the bottom to hide the screws. You may also add some rubber feet to keep the box from sliding.
