Thanks for posting this. I printed the parts and built this as well. For the wind cups, I superglued a bearing the size of the bottom and machined a coupler from aluminum that fit inside the bottom with a slightly larger bottom half so the cups rest on the coupler. I also dirilled and tapped an M5 hole in the coupler and mounted that to the top. I tested the arrangement with a powerful leaf blower and the wind cups stayed on the coupler without coming off.

Great DIY project, one of the best I've seen. Well thought out, & presented. The best ideal, of the internet, shown right here: people giving & receiving ideas, to improve on someone's inventiveness.
-
WOW, Great Build - This definitely is the way to go! Thanks for all the work (I agree per "Stoner's" comment, a nice add : battery voltage or percentage of battery life)
-
I'm definitely going to build this now, great updates.
-
Add a rain sensor end air quality sensor :D
-
Michael, another idea that should be simple to implement is noise sensors; assuming the wind turbines are silent.
-
This is awesome mate. I see in the comments others have mentione PM 2.5 and wind direction. It would be neat to see it added to a LoRa radio so you could deploy it out a ways from a wifi signal. I am looking ot build something like this for our community garden (about 3km away). Seeing the quality of the resin print makes me want to get one. I have an Prusa Mini (FDM printer) currently. Its good, but your looks amazing.
-
Nice work man!
-
awesome project!
-
Very good, I like that you replaced with hall sensor, which is more accurate. I will be also making this weather station, maybe I will use GSM module along as I will place this station to remote area.

excelente video le hare algunas modificaciones: pluviometro y sensor de humedad del suelo para la agricultura saludos desde bolivia
-
great project, now with a solar panel (even if has a low performance) you can add a extra battery to store extra energy and you add others projects maybe a rain sensor wich you can send a notification on your smartphone
-
Hi first great project works wonderfully for me. Wanted to ask if you can install mqtt for home assistant
-
Hello! Congrats on the project. Is your project rain resistant? Does the rain not damage the internal sensors? Thanks!
-
Great project and also Impressive. I would like to follow your project but one step at the time, considering that yours is to much for my knowledge (LOL). I've seen your page but is Full off annoying advertising (LOL). Do you have somewhere a PDF or another site where I can download those instructions? .Thank You & keep up up to date with everything you do. P.S. of course you got another subscriber . Best of Luck
-
Great project! I know it’s probably overkill but why not add battery voltage or percentage of battery life to the dashboard? Should be easy to program and adds a professional touch to the whole project.
-
Awesome update but you forgot to add the PM2.5 sensor :)
-
U could also install a lightning detector?
-
Damn ! I'd l;ove to build this for my father, but I can't find most component in europe, such as the solar power manager 5v, or you esp32-e board. There are equivalent for the last one tho, But I don't know about its power consumption
-
Can you add feature to record the wind direction, my be it I'll use full weather station spot.
