Parts Needed
- 6x 10x2mm Magnets (if you choose to use them)

Features
- Wi-Fi Antenna is not enclosed to provide best reception possible.
- Snap-fit Case Lid and Magnetic Base
- Room to use DuPont terminal wires
- Ventilation holes for the ESP-32 Chip
- Honeycomb pattern to use less filament and allow viewing of pin connections
- Pass-through buttons so you can still access the Reset and Boot buttons if you need to
- RGB-LED hole & “isolator” ( I wanted to try and isolate the LED with a cone so that there was less light bleed into the rest of the chamber )
- Labeled USB Connections (My X1C did not do well but YMMV, it's still somewhat legible but not perfect)
- More lids and bases to come! ( I will add to this upload as I find the time to make the other parts )

Instructions
- It can all be printed on one plate. -
- Magnetic Base will need supports for the Magnet holes (Friction mounted, reinforced with Superglue)
- After printing, Slide the Wi-Fi antenna into the wide slot at the rear, It 0.1mm wider than the chip itself so it will be snug, this is intentional to keep the node secure.
- After the Antenna is in the hole, angle the board to place it in the cavity by sliding it to the back of the case. It should slide down into place without any assistance. After it is in place, push it forward towards the USB-C Cutouts using the 3X3 Headers on the top of the board.
-Place the button spacers in the holes on the lid from the “inside” of the lid. With it turned upside down, put the case bottom in place on top of the lid, and close it with a little force from your fingers. (it's a hard snap to close it, but it will only come off if you pry it off)
- Note: At any point you can connect your DuPont wires and slide them through the case or connect them after the ESP32 has been inserted into the case. I hope to add PIN IDs on the bottom later on, the initial testing proved that the area is smaller than the X1C can print letters.
- After you are done connection your DuPont connections, you can close the bottom by aligning the channel on the base with the DuPont channel and pressing it closed like you did with the lid.
- Currently the only way to remove the base is by using a small screwdriver and pry it off in the holes used for wires. I haven't had the time to affix a handle like the lid.





Notes

This is my first real attempt at making a model.

After searching endlessly for a case that would fit my ESP-32-C6-DevKitC-1 V1.2 Board, I decided to make one. This will be expanding slowly to allow different lids and bottoms as I see fit for my projects. I already have another lid planned to use the BH1750 ambient light sensor.

This specific case is being used with Dallas Temp sensors to monitor temps inside my freezer and fridge. Hints why it has a magnetic base.

All the prototypes were made with PLA in about 30 minutes, For the actual use “case” I am printing in Bambu PETG because of heat.

I suggest using supports for the Magnets so that the cavity does not collapse on the void.

The lid and Base snap on and are pretty secure if I say so myself.

I added Honeycomb on the side so you can see the Dupont pins and if they are securely connected. The honeycomb on the top is for any heat dissipation that is needed to cool the ESP32.

I have allowed space for DuPont connectors and the bend in the wire so there should be no issues with harsh angles on the wires. Even if you filled all the pins, there will still be room to secure the base.

A standard USBC cable will fit securely, I have tested this with a few cables I have and they all work.
