For a more detailed step-by-step description have a look at my page on [PrusaPrinters.org](https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/60395-rain-gauge-using-advanced-techniques-and-pvb).


This is a rather complex design, making extensive use of color changes during print.

You will need the follwing prints:
- 1pc "cup" clear transparent. Use the spiral vase mode (0.15mm layer height?). I was a bit worried about it coming loose from the print bed, but did not have any problems at all. The resulting cup might be slightly warped to the outside which does not matter in the end.
- 1pc "bottom ring" clear transparent 0.15mm layer height.
- 1pc "bottom connector" blue translucent 0.25mm layer height
- 1pc "top ring lower" clear transparent 0.15mm layer height.
- 1pc "top ring upper" blue translucent 0.3mm layer height.
- 2pcs "top scala connector" 0.15mm. I printed mine using black filament for the first 20 layers and clear transparent for the others (look at the screenshot).
