Photosensitive Sensor Case

thingiverse

I needed to attach a digital light intensity photosensitive sensor to a robot car, so I built this protective case to safeguard it and improve its ability to sense light over a greater range via the serial port. This case was specifically designed for that particular sensor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N1FKS4L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The case features a hole at its bottom for an M2 screw and a square opening on the lid, making it easy to access the potentiometer. The lid should simply snap onto the case and hold securely in place. If it feels too tight or loose, check your print settings. You will need to bend the photodiode upwards to position the sensor within the case. Once it is fully seated inside the case, bend the photodiode forward into the barrel. Place the lid on the case and you are ready to detect light in a fixed direction.
