Adafruit Anemometer 1/4-20 adapter

thingiverse

I picked up this anemometer from Adafruit: https://www.adafruit.com/product/1733. I plan on mounting it using a magmount adapter with a 1/4-20 screw. The anemometer base has four screw holes, so I created an adapter to fit the mounting needs of my project. The hole for the 1/4-20 is designed to accommodate a 1/4-20 heatset insert: http://amzn.to/2Ay4NDZ. For attaching the anemometer to its base, you can use long M5 screws/bolts or opt for an M5-0.8 heatset insert like this: http://amzn.to/2ASFF7R. I've provided two versions of this design. The version with a riser is ideal when using screws/nuts to attach the anemometer, offering room for screw heads. The flush version suits those who prefer to use heatset inserts, resulting in a cleaner installation. I personally prefer the inserts due to their ease of installation, though your results may vary. I'm not expecting more than five individuals will require this design, yet I enjoy sharing my creations with others. This anemometer adapter prints cleanly on my Lulz Mini 3D printer using Cura software; a print time of approximately forty minutes was achieved.
