I need to put a square peg in a round hole.... Would you be willing to post the CAD file for your humidity adapter? Then I could remix it for these inexpensive zigbee/bluetooth wireless TH sensors that cost just $1.80 on aliexpress (see photo), including free delivery. In that event, I could upload the remix, giving proper credit to you. Much easier than having to reverse engineer it just to do the remix.

I use Fusion360.

By the way, there's a simple phone app that allows you to manage up to 200 of these sensors, so it really is a superior way to monitor the humidity in your dry boxes if you have a lot of them. Just set a humidity tripwire threshold for the sensor, and the app will alert you if ever humidity goes over that. Plus, you get graphs showing trends over time. It's all free and done in the cloud and very easy to set up. Even stores up to 2 years of data for free in case you want to look back. A new datapoint is recorded every hour for each sensor.

Alternately, you can capture the data and import it into Home Assistant, which is what many people do, and then you have no dependency on the Cloud for anything going forward. Home Assistant is free open source software. This approach requires slightly more know-how, but you could always switch over to this at a later date.

These TH sensors cover the full 0%-100% humidity range, whereas many of the cheapo sensors (maybe including the OG sensor that this adapter was made for) can't measure anything less than 10% humidity. Even worse, their accuracy often degrades rapidly with time, especially if they use a DC current to take the measurement, which causes cumulative destruction over time. All this is well known, and you can find it documented all over the internet.

Hopefully, I've given you ample reason to want to do this.

Of course, if you would prefer to do the mod/remix yourself, then by all means please do. As long as *somebody* does it, I'm fine either way. (edited)

@dimprov_537589 I can only make adapters If I had access to this sensor or good 3D model of it,
do you know the actual model number, is there anything on grabcad ?
fyi
I have been using these containers with this setup for years now, and I came to conclusion that there is no need for any sensors, the humidity is basically not changing inside, so save yourself some money, how long does the battery lasts in those sensors anyway? (edited)

Have one that will fit a rectangular hygrometer like:

The Frame keeps droppping down. I think the tolerances are are too loose on this part to hold on to the cover. (edited)

Nice idea, works good enough with the cereal box cap, however, requires some glue or other hacks to keep it in-place when the box stands vertically, so it seems the design was mostly for horizontally placed box, as vertical placement is very dependent on the printer, lid and settings (edited)

Printed port frame, then remixed port for use with PC4-M10 fitting.

Printed using PLA+. Works fine on an iPhone 13 with a case

Printed in place, no supports with white PLA, 100% infill. Didn't realize there was a few areas that might've printed better with support or being printed "flipped" instead, but works well enough. The "angled" portion printed fused together, would need some tweaking if you wanted an angle-adjustable stand (or not, if you just wanted it as a hands-free stand, might be better that it doesn't rotate). If I printed another one, I'd probably adjust a few settings to optimize (e.g., ironing, adjusting how it lays on the print bed so the angled portions are face up), but overall the print as is is perfectly workable as a compact stand.

I quickly printed it with PLA, and it nicely fits. I am happy I found this thingy - saved me a lot of time designing it myself - it was exactly what I was after. Thanks again!

prusa sicer givess me a no extrusions on the first layer error when I sice it ..Should I just ignore it?
