Summary

Weather protection with a 3D-printed Stevenson screen for RuuviTag temperature/humidity/pressure sensor. Keeps the water out yet enables the air and bluetooth to go through! Basically a DIY weather station. 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
One in the pictures has 3 ring units.

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.

Post-Printing

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. Tag holder has a slot for double sided tape to hold the sensor. Tag-holder has a slot for screwdriver to allow battery change of the sensor.

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.
