Sensor Enclosure with Vents

thingiverse

This is a vertical housing unit in two sections engineered to securely hold an Electric Imp device and environmental sensor board while providing sufficient open space for accurate readings. The bottom and top are both threaded, designed to screw together for a secure friction fit. This entire assembly is intended for outdoor use in a sheltered location where the board inside can take precise measurements of temperature, humidity, and other atmospheric conditions. Two distinct versions of the bottom section are included, differing only aesthetically. I have included the initial V1 parts as a historical reference, but they proved unreliable in keeping rain out of the enclosures during wet weather. Print Settings Printer Brand: Printrbot Printer: Simple White Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 mm Infill: 15% Notes: I typically print these in either PLA or PETG, oriented vertically on the build plate. The bottom pieces require supports to hold up the triangle flanges, but the top prints without any supports at all. Assembly Hang the housing unit outside in a sheltered location. Ideally it should be mostly free from direct sunshine and rain.
