Solar Radiation Shield aka Stevenson Screen

<p>This is a Solar Radiation Shield aka. Stevenson Screen for Air Temperature and Humidity Measurement. It's inspired by <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1067700">micromet's shield</a> but I redesigned it from scratch. It should be compatible with sensor mounting adapters for their shield but bette check yourself if you are going to use one of them.</p> <p>All files are also available on <a href="https://github.com/evilscientress/solar-radiation-shield">GitHub</a> and pull requests for improvements or issue reports are welcome.</p> <p>I plan to make this thing customizable in the future, just have to figure out the details.</p> <h3>Printing Tipps</h3> <p>I highly recommend you use a UV resistant filament AND to apply a UV resistent coating on the finished part.</p> <p>I printed the parts using a black PLA filament from (Extrudr)[<a href="https://www.extrudr.com/">https://www.extrudr.com/</a>] and then spray painted the whole part with a clear plastic base coat, then spray painted the outside white, before spray painting the whole part with a protective clear coating. That way I achieved the maximum amount of opaqueness, a minimum of reflections to the inside, while maintaining high reflectivity on the outside for a minimum dissipation of solar radiation by the shield itself.</p> <h3>Attribution</h3> <p>This design was inspired by <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1067700">micromet's Radiation Shield</a></p> <p>It includes the OpenScad <a href="https://dkprojects.net/openscad-threads/">thread drawing modules by Dan Kirshner</a> subject to the GNU General Public License v3</p> Category: DIY
