Garage Door Safety Sensor Sun-Shield

Garage Door Safety Sensor Sun-Shield

thingiverse

My garage door runs N/S, so around 1pm the sun saturates the safety sensor and prevents the garage door from closing. I could have probably just swapped the transmitter/receiver, or perhaps used a toilet paper roll and some duct tape, but hey I have a 3D printer. This attaches to the mount with a couple small binder clips, and blocks the sun adequately. Tube is tilted 30deg, and the binder clip solution allows enough slack to adjust manually. Model designed in tinkercad, let me know if you'd like it.
