I found ESP-12E/ESP-12F and the similar chips' without an attached breakout borad very powerful and cheap for my projects, but its connectors to be pretty annoying to work with. i couldn't find a comfortable way to connect it quickly to and from a firmware uploading/real/test circuits. so i designed these houses which allows wires connections to its connectors without soldering. you insert 30AWG wires from the sides and roll them up - each on its own rail. once you silde the chip into the houses, the wires are pressed down to its connectors. once you finish using it, you can just disconnect it from the houses and move it to other houses of other circuits. 2 designs included - one for the sides (2 prints) and one for the bottom (1 print) - total for 22 connectors.
