#IMPORTANT NOTICE:
New download link : https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/117039-am2302dht22-sensor-mount-for-extrusion-rail
Since the user experience on thingiverse.com decreased constantly and new obstacles were setup in the last few weeks (e.g. imposing wait prompts for each single download, deprecated batch downloads, requirement to disable ad-blocker, slow performance, etc.), I decided to move all my prints over to prusaprinters.org where such issues do not exist. That means further, I won't update my print here any more and update and new print will be available on prusaprinters.org. I'll leave my account here active for reference.
Please consider to join me on prusaprinters.org and leave a "Like" if you love my prints.
Thank you for your attention!
[Update: Sep 22, 2020] I made another mount for the BME280 sensor, too.
Find it here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4604006
For my enclosure project with a temperature contolled fan I needed to mount the temperature sensor near the printing area of my Ender 3 to receive as accurate temperature values as possible, which are not influenced by obstructions or drafts
Thus I decided to mount it in a relatively higher position on back of the Z extrusion rail above the PSU.
This is a simple but functional mount for a AM2302 temperature sensor. It is mounted with the sensor on an extrusion rail with a M3x8 hex screw and M3 T-nut.
I added a small cover the connectors to make it look nicer.
The sensor is connected to my RPi which is built into an AIO enclosure on the back of the printer. To read aout the temperature I use the Enclosure plugin for OctoPrint.
Note:
The AM2302 is shipped in various form factors. The one I use is this here.
