Research enclosures #31

What are some options to consider for enclosures. Keep these things in mind:

Nodes may have single-stack, doubler, or tripler configurations
Various modules need exposure and/or sky visibility (OLED, GPS, light sensors, dust sensor, etc.)
How will LoRa 1/4-wave antennae and potential GPS external GPS antennae be handled
Large sensors and specialty modules may need special treatment. E.g the dust sensor
What weather and/or security concerns need to be addressed?

Consider the following as possible tacks to this problem or come up with others:

pre-made and/or custom-made enclosures from external sources
3D printing enclosures
CNC routing and assembling enclosures
DIY/scavenging approaches such (a la the Altoids Tin enclosure)
