What do you all use for enclosures for these nice little boards? I checked to see if there were 3d print models out, and didn't see any at quick glance, but I will dig deeper.

Hello Jfeger,

I'm publishing a 3D printable (STL) case for the Whisper Node sent by one user. Please give me 24h and I'll paste the Thingiverse link here.

Other options are to use standard electronic enclosures. I really like those ones:

They are very sturdy, easy to cut/drill and can resist some small water splashes.

Thank you. For the ones you listed, how do you secure the node to the enclosure? The mounting holes don't align, so do you fabricate something?

That's a good question. If I'm using a larger case, where I can fit the antenna inside it, I normally don't fix the Whisper Node, or simply fix another PCB/Protoboard and plug the Whisper Node Headers to this board.

If I'm using a small case I drill the antenna hole very snug. This way the SMA connector will be exposed outside of the enclosure and by attaching the antenna it will hold the board in place at same time. If I need the setup to be a bit more protected from elements I also use a rubber ring between the case and the antenna, around the the SMA connector.

Finally, you can easily mark the Whisper Node holes and drill two holes on the back (or lid) of the case to screw it in place.

Thanks! Thats a nice case for sure.
