Description

This offers multiple ways to mount an inexpensive Hygrometer.

The clip and frame can be glued together in any configuration. This should give you plenty of options on your MK4(s).

If you glue the frame behind the clip bevel, you'll have plenty of clearance from the print head (Make sure you double check that though).

Frame Clip

This is the clip that connects to the top of the MK4 frame. The larger part of the clip is the top.

Sensor Frame

This frame holds the sensor package.
It has two options

Frame Depth:
  • Full Height : Deep enough to fully contain the sensor body
  • Half Height : Half the depth of the full frame

This frame is meant to be glued to the Frame Clip so that it can be mounted on the MK4 frame.

Sensor Mount Pads

These allow you to mount the sensor on a flat surface using double sided tape that is placed on the pads.
It has multiple options

Frame Depth:
  • Full Height : Deep enough to fully contain the sensor body
  • Half Height : Half the depth of the full frame
Tab Placement:
  • Short : The tabs have been placed on the short side of the frame
  • Long : The tabs have been placed on the long side of the frame
Tab Offset
  • Flat : The frame is flush with the tabs
    You'll need tape thick enough to make up the 1mm difference for the sensor bezel
  • Recessed : The frame is recessed 2mm to account for the sensor bezel
    You will need to print supports for the frame

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

I've disconnected the frame and from the clip so that I could just glue them together in whatever configuration I wanted.

I've also slightly modified the shape to make them more robust.
