nodemcu is a variant of esp8266. here is a great case from thingiverse[1] that you can get printed on 3dhubs for cheap. the case design lets you avoid soldering, the gpio feet just sink into the case, and make contact with any wires you want. not sure how solid this is compared to soldering, but i think for most use cases it's fine, and keeps things very simple.
as others have said, those days are over. micropython with esp8266 is insanely easy[2].

- pwaai 9y agoah this is a perfect gateway for noobs like me! thanks for this. I'm super excited about 3dhubs! I didn't know such service existed. Wonder what the pricing is like.
- nathants 9y ago3dhubs is a market place. you choose from local printers, and if u go bottom of the barrel on price (as i do) it usually means u just wait longer for shipping. i printed x5 nodemcu cases and x5 raspi cases for ~$30 total, arrived a week later. pickup is also possible instead of delivery.
