Snow Gauge

cults3d

We had some snow here (probably about 6 inches) and the news people were saying we only had about 3 inches which I know they were wrong but since I didn't have a gauge I couldn't argue too much! So I created this snow gauge. It is actually 13 inches tall with marks every inch. I included the unmarked version as well as the embossed version and the original 123d design file. I haven't printed it yet but I am thinking I will print it using black filament and then paint the inch marks and embossed numbers white. On the embossed version, the inch marks are above the actual gauge so if it is just below 3 inches then you got 3 inches of snow. I also made the base so it can be bolted down. If the whole gauge is covered then you got over 13 inches of snow as that's the full height.
