Sunscreen for outdoor temperature sensor.
*** update 190513 ***
Added a mount for 1 inch pipes.
*** update 180626 ***
Added a screen layer with integrated sensor mount.
If you need an accurate reading of the outdoor temperature, direct sunlight and downfall is a problem.
On a chilly but sunny winter day the temperature reading might be 10-15 degrees too high because of direct sunlight warming the sensor.
The solution is shielding the sensor from the sun while not restricting airflow, since the air temperature is what we're interested in.
I couldn't find a sturdy design that was likely to survive a couple of years without replacing parts, so I drew up this. I hope you can make use of it.
Feel free to comment on shortcomings, possible improvements or anything related to this design. I would also very much like to see your installation if you chose to try this one out.
Print as many shield rings as you need for your desired height. I settled for 5 rings (4+top).
