Stevenson Screen for F5 MicroCan (iButton) sensors

thingiverse

This Stevenson Screen is designed for 1-wire F5 MicroCan (iButton) sensors, which measure and log temperature and humidity data. The parts easily clip together to form a tower containing multiple sensors. Two parts make up the system: one has a closed top for the top and bottom elements, while the other has holes for better air circulation in the middle sections. To attach it to the ground at your desired height, you'll need to add a stake to the bottom part. Since this design hasn't been tested in real-world conditions yet, it's still considered "work in progress." Print Settings Printer: Mini Fabrikator by Tiny Boy Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 mm Infill: 20% Notes: This printer prints fine upside down with the top on the build plate, but requires cooling since the filament won't have enough time to cool before the next layer starts. How I Designed This A coworker asked if I had an idea for protecting some sensors from direct sunlight and rain. To create these parts, I worked in Fusion360. The clipping mechanism was a bit challenging; I needed to try out several prototypes before settling on the design. Initially, I considered using a bayonet mechanism like those found in BNC connectors, but a complete ring around each part is more stable and easier to print. It turns out that simple ideas often prove better than complex ones. Updates 2019-07-09 Fusion360 archive & pole mount I've uploaded a Fusion360 archive as requested by @ashenkin for remixing purposes. I've also added a part that can be mounted on a pole using two zip ties.
