Temperature sensor bracket for DS18B20 waterproof sensor

thingiverse

I wanted an outdoor temp sensor, so I made this enclosure that protects it from direct sunlight. A size "B" drill fits perfectly through the enclosure and a small shield covers the entire setup. The pins holding the shield in place are TIG welded with 1/16" stainless steel rods. To mount the bracket to my building's outside wall, I use a small adhesive strip called CommandStrip. It sits snugly on the brackets' holes, securing the sensor safely indoors or out. Instructions I printed this project on my Solidoodle. To build it, you need to use a "B" size drill for clean and precise work on the sensor enclosure hole. Cut 1/16" tig welding rods to length and fit them into the shield mount holes securely. To assemble the bracket outside, attach small CommandStrip adhesive strips, firmly gripping the mounting surface against vibrations from heavy wind gusts or rain. Securely wire up the temperature sensing device to your favorite microcontroller like Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
