Wind speed gauge - Anemometer V2.0

cults3d

This is a complete overhaul of the original design found at https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/wind-speed-gauge-anemometer-shermluge. This version has undergone significant improvements over its predecessor, which was in use for 2 years but struggled with high winds. The new model is easier to print and can handle winds exceeding 55+ mph without issue. Despite being a work in progress, the weather station has been collecting data since December 24, 2019, with over 206,993 records stored. The website remains rough, with everything hardcoded, including the graph, which utilizes tables in HTML. Plans are underway to add a lookup history feature beyond the past 24 hours. The website is located at https://shermluge.xyz/wx/, and schematics for the full weather station can be found on EasyEDA: https://easyeda.com/shermluge/WX_Station_Full-7d749d96df40475c89a0159e7455dd70. In a bid to enhance redundancy, some sensors are duplicated in the design. I am currently designing a rain gauge and plan to convert the entire weather station from spare parts to 3D printed components. The wind speed sensor has been upgraded to a Hall effect sensor (3144), which has proven more reliable than the infrared sensor originally used. This change was made over a year ago, and its performance has been outstanding. The spinner, top, and bottom case are printed with PETG, while the rest of the components use ABS. The model requires two 608 bearings, typically found in skateboard wheels, which are cleaned and lubricated for smooth operation.
