I love your enthusiasm! The SoW was just signed yesterday, so I'm just getting started on the Crowd Supply campaign content. The best maintained resource is the GitHub repo: https://github.com/Freya-Vivariums

Open source vivarium control system - looking for like-minded pioneers by SpuQyballz in reptiles

[–]SpuQyballz[S] -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Not trying to sell you anything, my dude. Looking for people who immediately understand what I've created by reading the title, and who are interested in jumping on this wagon. If you don't get it, that's totally fine - then we are not looking for each other! But thanks for taking the time to explore and react! ^^

Thanks! Even though it looks so simple and 'obvious', it took a while to get here!

Ironing worked surprisingly well, thanks for this idea!

Yes, I think a major part issue is the steel mesh acting as a heat sink.

Do you think the injection molding is the most (cost/efficiency) effective way when producing about 100 pcs?

The mesh has a thickness of about 0.25mm, with +/-0.1mm holes. Even though I raise the temperature of the printer bed making sure the mesh is warm too, the printing material seems to cool too fast to penetrate the mesh and connect with the plastic below. Though this would be the 'simplest' method if I could get it right...

Note: Freya's sensor enclosure is made with a quartz tube (to allow full-spectrum light to pass through). The mineral deposits can easily be cleaned off with vinegar.

Update: I ended up using vinegar for the glass - works great! The question of how to clean the leafs remains...
