To give a nice commercial product look, I designed an enclosure for this project. I used Autodesk Fusion 360 to design the enclosure.

The enclosure has two parts:

1. Main Body

2. Cover Lid

The Main Body is basically designed to fit the Weather station V2.0 PCB (85mm* 83mm).

The Cover lid is to cover up the main body opening.

I used my Creality CR-10 3D printer and 1.75 mm green PLA filament to print the parts. It took me about 11 hours to print the main body and around 3 hours to print the top lid.

My settings are:

Print Speed : 60 mm/s

Layer Height: 0.2mm ( 0.3 also works good )

Fill Density: 25%

Extruder Temperature: 200 deg C

Bed Temp: 60 deg C
