Rain Gauge with tipping bucket
thingiverse
I designed and made this rain gauge in 2018 as a maker. Its resolution is 0,21mm. I provide the source file of the drawing because it must be adapted to your particular raw material (magnet, funnel…). From the source file, you will be able to generate the parts STLs. The STL files provided is just a concatenation of all the parts and can't be used. (Added june 24th 2020 : individual STL files for reference) Mechanical design software I used is DesignSpark Mechanical (free after creating an account). It’s not a parametric software and it’s quite easy to handle. All detailed instructions are in the instructions PDF file. A 3D PDF file is also included so you can have a look at the parts before going deeper with DesignSpark Mechanical. You can find the temperature sensor shelter here : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3222598
