Digital Thermometer Wall Mounts

thingiverse

I've been eyeing imported low-cost CO2 laser engravers and how people have hacked them. ZeusArts has a fantastic 3D printed digital thermometer mount at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1719324, along with numerous other impressive mods. Since the thermometers are so affordable, I ordered some for my 3D printer to monitor air intake temperature versus that inside the cabinet. So here's a collection of variously sized wall-mountable digital thermometer mounts. From 1x1 to 4 wide by 5 high (way overboard). These mounts have enough room to conceal the connectors and excess wires behind them. Print them upside down so the face is on the print bed. No supports are needed. Cutouts are included so that the temperature probe(s) and power don't get pinched. A filler or "blank" is included to fill any unused spots. You can find the thermometers on eBay. Just search for "digital thermometer Molex panel PC", which should bring up the one I used, along with many other probably compatible alternatives. I simply spliced a 5V Wall-Wart into the power cable to power mine. The heavy-duty button on the back toggles between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
