Funnel extension rain gauge / tipping bucket (weather station)

prusaprinters

<p>Funnel extension for electronic rain gauge, as available at aliexpress, etc. for weather stations (MS-WH-SP-RG).</p> <p>The model has a groove that fits exactly into the edge of the rain gauge. I have filled this joint with silicone, so that the two parts are firmly connected and watertight. I used white PLA as the material and it still endures well now after almost two years (-10°C to +40°C). To prevent moisture from penetrating in winter and cracking the material in frosty conditions, I also smoothed the inside with silicone.</p> <p>The extension increases the accuracy to exactly 0.1 l/m². I have compared the annual amount in the meantime with the official weather station in my area and have come to almost exactly the same result.</p> <p>The extender has a footprint of 150x190 mm &gt;&gt; A = 0,0285 m2 &gt;&gt; 1 tip = 0,100 l/m2</p> <p>You can also find the part to attach the entire unit to a pole here on thingiverse:<br/> <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3793472">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3793472</a></p> <p>Feel free to remix my Tinkercad-model:<br/> <a href="https://www.tinkercad.com/things/9uwNDriIFqR">https://www.tinkercad.com/things/9uwNDriIFqR</a></p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Anet</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>A8</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>Yes</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>200</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20</p></div><br/> <strong>Filament:</strong><br/> Eryone PLA White</p> </p></p></p> Category: Outdoor &amp; Garden
