After years of exposure to harsh sunlight, the shells on these rain gauges inevitably crumble into dust. To prevent this from happening, simply print them using ABS or another UV-resistant material that can withstand the elements. Alternatively, a coat of protective paint will also do the trick. To further minimize structural issues, consider printing the design upside down, as the STL file is already oriented in this manner. With 70 meters of filament and a print time of 16 hours on the MK2 printer, you'll be well on your way to creating durable rain gauges that can withstand even the most extreme weather conditions.
