An old school rain-gauge.

I designed it to be easily printable with no reworking and only one part needing minimal supports.

The scale is in l/m² or mm/m² (wich is essentially the same :) )

• Total Dimensions: 230mm x 80mm (Minimum 190mm Print Hight needed)

Despite the look on the photo, the cylinder is actually quite transparent and it is easy to see the waterlevel inside.

!! I changed the Cylinder.stl Part !!
!! The old one was the wrong version wich was not printable in vase-mode !!

Print Settings
