Can you supply the model number of the Bud Industries case that holds the Sky Weather parts? Also, what plastic is used to cover the cameras?

PowderJocky,
Yes, but you will still have to cut an RJ11 line to get it into the slot. RJ45 will work.

PowderJocky, Yes, but you will still have to cut an RJ11 line to get it into the slot. RJ45 will work. BP I have miles of old telephone cord around the house and have a crimper. I can cut out the RJ45 cable out and add the RJ11 easy enough. Ordered all of the other components last night. Do you have any photographs in your collection showing how to mount the Bud Industries box to different substrates? Looking to mount to a Regal railing on my deck.

What is the best type of filament to use for the camera mounts? Since they will be subjected to the sun.

ABS if you have it. PLA should be fine, however. PLA has a lower flow temperature than ABS, but it still should be fine.

One more question. Are all of the boards, with the risers installed, mounted with screws thru the back of the case?

PowderJockey,
That is optional. We have done both. Now we use superglue and glue the risers to the box. As long as there is no lateral pressure (superglue is brittle) it works like a champ.

ABS would handle he heat better, but you would still need to paint it with a couple coats of something like Krylon in order to handle the UV exposure. I printed everything using ASA, purchased from 3DXTech Advanced Materials. ASA is weather and UV resistant. It's only slightly more fussy than ABS.

I can't seem to find the case, can you pass on the model number?

Ok so I just got the weather kit, where do I find all the parts I will need that are not included in the kit? I do not have a 3D printer or other fancy stuff to build this project. I thought this was a plug and play kit that had all needed parts. Please help. Thanks

I thought this was a plug and play kit that had all needed parts. Please help. Thanks Download the 3D files from SDL. They will come in a file format of .stl. Then go to 3D Hubs. Create a free account and then upload those .stl files to 3D Hubs. You can pick your colour, type of filament and from who you want to print the items. I've used them on several occasions and had great success. I'm not sure where you live, but I'm sure there is a Hub near you. This is probably the best option for people that do not have access to a 3D printer. Sometimes high schools have printers that can used as well. Scott
