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.
I tried a bunch of different approaches and iterations. All of them work so you can decide, which one you like best.
V1: Since the wind gauge is sensitive to UV radiation, I wanted to design the mount in a way that protects the gauge.
V2: Same as V1 but with added drain holes on the bottom.
V3: A rather simple solution that uses a lot less material.
V4: Same approach as with V3 but with holes for a rope.
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.
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.
Settings:
Print with 0.2 or 0.3mm and PETG. PLA should also work but doesn't last as long as PETG.
