Description

PDF

This is a fully enclosed box designed for an ESP8266 on a mesh network.  These ended up costing me about $43/each – far better than a prebuilt product but not cheap.    I've included a link to PCBWay where you can order my PCB Board directly so all necessary parts are included once printed (some soldering still required).

A complete build of materials is below:

 


3/2/25 Updates

  • Code for esp8266 available here on github.   
  • Added curved arm brackets and runners which work better.

Please leave comments and I can use that to determine how much to invest in instructional documentation/assembly help!

Printed with PETG at .30 and 20% infill for most parts.   See the full print for my examples.

  • The arm bars I used 50% infill for extra support
  • I added supports to the box to ensure the button holes stay round.
