Adafruit Anemometer 1/4-20 adapter

I picked up this anemometer from Adafruit: https://www.adafruit.com/product/1733

I plan on using a magmount adapter with a 1/4-20 screw to mount it. The anemometer base has four screw holes, so I made an adapter.

The hole for the 1/4-20 is designed to take a 1/4-20 heatset insert: http://amzn.to/2Ay4NDZ

For attaching to the anemometer base you can either use long M5 screws/bolts or you can use an M5-0.8 heatset insert like this: http://amzn.to/2ASFF7R

I've included two versions of this design. The version with the riser is if you use screws/nuts to attach the anemometer. The riser gives you room for your screw heads. The flush version is if you use the heatset inserts. I like the inserts because the installation is cleaner, but your mileage may vary.

I'll be surprised if more than 5 people need this, but I like to share. The design prints clean...with my Lulz Mini using Cura it took about 40 minutes to print.
