I created this simple and (almost) fully printed anemometer for students in local high-school programming classes.
3D printed parts (PETG):
- Top dome
- Top core (this is where a small magnet is placed)
- Bottom body (this part contains a Hall sensor with a wire)
- Bottom leg
- Cup (printed 3 times, need support in the middle of the cup)
Mechanical and electronic parts:
- Ball bearing 625RS (ID: 5 mm, OD: 16 mm, height: 5 mm)
- Neodymium magnet ø4 mm, height 1-3 mm
- Hall sensor OH137 in TO-92 package
- Wire 3 core
- Few centimetres of a heat-shrink tube.
- Resistor 1 kΩ and capacitor 22 pF for connecting the Hall sensor to an Arduino.
Assembling:
- Print all parts.
- Press a magnet into a cavity in the “top core” part. It's a press fit, no need for glue.
- Put all three cups into “top core” and press “top dome” over the assembly. It's a good idea to put a little bit of glue between “top core” and “top dome” parts.
- Press the ball bearing into “bottom body” part. It should be a press fit, no need for glue.
- Solder wire on the Hall sensor (use a heat-shrink tube to protect metal legs from touching) and push it through the hole in “bottom body” part.
- Screw “bottom leg” into “bottom body”.
- Press “top” assembly into the ball bearing inside “botom” assembly.
- Done. Now you can connect the Hall sensor to Arduino or any board you are using.
