Gill Shield Weather Station case for RuuviTag

Weather protection with a 3D-printed gill shield (Stevenson screen is a box) for RuuviTag temperature/humidity/pressure sensor. Basically a DIY bluetooth weather station. 

• Keeps the water out yet enables the air and bluetooth to go through! 
• Opimized to be printed upside down without supports or rafts. 
• Optional roof-plate with Ruuvi logo. If you plan to install this somewhere with direct sunlight, use full white roof to get more accurate readings.
• Modular design that allows as many "ring" sections to be used and made as tall as possible.

Minium combination

• floor
• ring
• tag holder
• roof

Weather station in the pictures has 3 ring units. Filament and weight calculations above contain 3 rings and match the images.

Notes:

Roof has M5 threads, add 3x 90mm pieces of 5mm threaded rod, assemble tag-holder and 3 rings, floor and nuts to underneath the unit to hold it together. 

1. Tag holder has a slot for double sided tape to hold the sensor. 
2. Tag-holder has a slot for screwdriver to allow battery change of the sensor.
3. Has to be printed from white filament not to heat up too much in direct sunlight
4. Preferable PETG or ABS in order to last outdoors. 
5. 1,0 mm elephant's foot compensation worked nicely for me.

How I Designed This

About 106 mm diameter, plate separation of 13 mm. Can be screwed into M10 thread. 

Bottom has holes for potentional drainage and to create convection in direct sunshine.

Licence

I've licenced this free for anyone to make, aslong as they don't profit from my work (fine to charge filament/print time from friends for example). If you want to use the model commercially, please contact me.

I have gotten permission from Ruuvi Innovations Ltd to use their logo. Note that this is not their official product.
