IoT Weather Station

thingiverse

This is a IoT weather station project. It will be expanded and improved upon as we test and expand the project in the field. It includes: Control Box for a NodeMCU + Light Sensor A Stevenson Screen for DHT11 (or other) Temperature/Humidity Sensor Joints for 22mm PVC Pipe Solar Panel Mounting Bracket (included in updated SketchUp file) Check back for updates. http://www.progressth.org/2016/12/3d-printed-iot-weather-station.html Print Settings Printer: ExtraBot 3020 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: Low Infill: 20% or higher Notes: Supports on build plate only are required for the joints. Some tricky bridging is required for the joints — we use high fan settings to help set the PLA as fast as possible. Post-Printing We used friction welding to connect many of the parts. We also used (2) 6mm x 100mm bolts and nuts for connecting the Stevenson Screen together, and (4) 3mm x 20mm bolts and nuts for the control box cover. The nuts are put into place, and a small spot-weld using friction welding (PLA filament used in a rotary tool — the heat from the spinning filament melts the plastic and "welds" it together) to hold the nuts in place permanently. How I Designed This Designed in SketchUp and exported as an .STL into Cura. The SketchUp file has been included for others to modify.
