Netatmo wind gauge mount for flagpole top cap

prusaprinters

<p>When I got my Netatmo wind gauge I immediately wanted to mount it. So I just drilled a hole in the standard top cap of my flagpole, put a screw in and put the wind gauge on top of it. This ‘solution’ worked for a while, but it looked really nasty…..and I wanted to do it properly this time.</p><p>I tried a bunch of different approaches and iterations. All of them work so you can decide, which one you like best.&nbsp;</p><p>V1: Since the wind gauge is sensitive to UV radiation, I wanted to design the mount in a way that protects the gauge.&nbsp;</p><p>V2: Same as V1 but with added drain holes on the bottom.</p><p>V3: A rather simple solution that uses a lot less material.</p><p>V4: Same approach as with V3 but with holes for a rope.</p><p>V5: Redesigned the bottom part, so the rain can drain better and added a top cap to also protect the top of the wind gauge. Should be used in combination with V3/4 and a long screw.</p><p>V6: My latest iteration. A lot less material is needed. but it also doesn't protect the wind gauge. You can add a 608 bearing to the bolt if you want to.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Settings:&nbsp;</p><p>Print with 0.2 or 0.3mm and PETG. PLA should also work but doesn't last as long as PETG.</p>
