Arduino and NodeMCU box with screen by eirikso

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Two enclosures for arduino, nodeMCU, raspberry pi, yun or whatever will fit into it. They are made to have a display in front. We use them as small info screens with the time, temperature and other info.
Clearly inspired by these nice small boxes: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:857858
But bigger so that you can easily fit an arduino, a Particle Photon or a NodeMCU based board in it. I will keep working on these. Updating this text with more exact measures. And make a back cover for the TFT-version etc.
The TFT-version is the biggest one. Depending on how you arrange things you could fit a board that is approx 100 mm long and 70 mm wide. The TFT version is made for this 1.8 Inch 128x160 SPI Serial TFT LCD Display Module: http://www.banggood.com/1_8-Inch-128x160-SPI-Serial-TFT-LCD-Display-Module-p-969263.html
The TFT box is in two versions. My original design with soft edges in the front and an additional one with a flat front.
Printing:
The boxes with curved edges in the front will look best if printed with the back down and support material all the way. It takes forever and uses lots of plastic. But the curved edges in the front will end up very nice. The green one is printed with the front down. You can see that my printer struggle with the overhang in the curved front.
I have added the TFT version with a "flat face" to have one that is easier to print. That one can be printed with the front down.
The OLED one was made to house an ESP8266 based module and an OLED screen of this type: 0.96 Inch 4Pin IIC I2C Blue OLED Display Module For Arduino (http://www.banggood.com/0_96-Inch-4Pin-IIC-I2C-Blue-OLED-Display-Module-For-Arduino-p-969147.html)
You should be able to fit a board that is max 70 mm long and 55 mm wide in this box.
The OLED one comes in two versions. One with a hole for a PIR sensor of this type: http://www.banggood.com/Mini-IR-Infrared-Pyroelectric-PIR-Body-Motion-Human-Sensor-Detector-Module-p-1015337.html And one with no hole for the PIR.
The back cover for the OLED-version is untested. I have designed it but never printed it or tested how it fits.
When I use these boxes I add four silicone feets like these: http://www.banggood.com/64Pcs-DIY-PVC-Anti-Collision-Silicone-Pad-With-3M-Sticker-p-977227.html
