This 3D-printed enclosure is a remix designed to house a capacitive soil moisture sensor connected to a D1 Mini controller board. Building on the original model, this version includes an orifice for the LED light and improved tabs to secure the sensor snugly. The enclosure provides robust protection while maintaining visibility of the board's LED indicator through a strategically placed orifice. The design offers two printing profiles: one that uses AMS (Automatic Material Switching) with a translucent filament for the LED window, and a second profile that prints the main body with a small orifice for LED light passage.

Features

• Protective Housing: Securely encases the capacitive soil moisture sensor and D1 Mini controller, shielding them from physical damage and environmental factors.
• LED Window: A small, translucent window aligned with the D1 Mini's LED indicator, allowing easy monitoring of the device status without opening the enclosure.
• Customizable Fit: Designed with precise dimensions to snugly fit the sensor and controller, preventing internal movement and potential disconnections.
• Easy Assembly: Includes snap points and guides to facilitate straightforward assembly and secure placement of the components.
• Ventilation Slots: Incorporated ventilation slots to prevent overheating and ensure optimal performance of the electronic components.

Printing Recommendations

• Filament Type: Use a translucent filament for the window section to maintain visibility of the LED. The main body of the enclosure can be printed with a durable, weather-resistant filament like PETG or ABS.
• Layer Height: 0.2 mm for a good balance between detail and printing time.
• Infill: 15% infill to provide strength without excessive filament usage.
• Supports: Not required.
• AMS Configuration: If using an AMS, configure it to switch between the main filament and the translucent filament for the LED window.
