Stackable ESP32 Enclosure (IoTStax)

ABOUT THE ENCLOSURE
This enclosure is a part of the IoTStax series, that are easy to print, and are able to be combined in stacks for easy mounting. Once printed, you can mount an EPS32 module with M2 bolts (8mm or 10mm), before either stacking on top of a general mounting plate, or other IoTStax modules (more info below). The lid is a tight friction fit to the base, but has recesses to help remove the lid.

• Note that the enclosure mounting holes are specific to a certain AZDelivery ESP module. I got mine here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08BTWJGFX 

PRINTING
Flip the Lid 180 to ensure that it's sitting correctly on the bed. The Base does not need to be rotated or changed. No supports are needed.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED
The following equipment is needed for this:

• 4x M2 (8mm or 10mm) bolts for mounting the module into the enclosure
• 2x 8mm diameter magnets
• OPTIONAL: IoT cables (e.g. dupont) for connecting to other boards

STACKING
The base features two holes for inserting 8mm diameter magnets. The fitting should be a tight friction fit, but you can use glue if needed. Pay attention to the orientation of the magnets. The magnets will be 60mm apart, which you can then use to stack either ontop of a IoTStax general Mounting Plate, or other IoTStax modules, e.g. SIM800L, SDS011, etc..
