New wind sensor - Pypilot + Davis
#12
Hey there, I went through a few options. At first I made a couple designs, hoping that I could get those done in steel/aluminum but it was incredibly expensive (>150€, more than the sensor itself).

   
   

Then I thought I could get those 3d printed which I assumed i would be cheaper, but I lack knowledge on the field and I was overwhelmed with the amount of diferents resins to chose. Also, it wasn't that cheap.

So I finally decided to build it myself out of fiberglass and epoxy. It's ugly as f*** but it was the easiest and by far cheapest option and noone sees it on the top of the mast. It should be resistant enough too. Ignore the piece of plywood on the bottom, it was just a to fix misdesign on my side (I'm too new at all this).
