Tipping bucket rain gauge

thingiverse

I downloaded a raingauge, but all its tolerances were way off. I tweaked those and installed a leaf guard to snag debris that tries to sneak in. The guard can be taken out for cleaning. To print it smoothly, I found it best to use no brim and supports only on the base. Make sure the X on the base is facing down. For silky-smooth tipping bucket movements, you'll need to sand the edges of the bucket.
