Case for TCRT 5000 (IR Light Barrier) – Mounting Bracket for Apator Metrix Smart Gas Meter

Why this mount?

I initially tried detecting the gas meter's rotation using a reed switch and a hall sensor, but neither provided reliable results due to inconsistent magnetic field detection. 

This mount positions the TCRT 5000 optimally, allowing it to accurately scan the metal plate movement.

Printing recommendations

The case must be printed with supports to ensure proper structural integrity.

Designed for easy installation on the gas meter.

Let me know if you have feedback or if improvements can be made! 😊

The TCRT5000 Holder is the same but I added a mount for the specified Gas Meter. The mentioned Case is also based on work from Michael Winkler.
