Well great news :) My solar radiation shield outlasted my weather station. Just returned the faulty unit to Aldi :( I have put the old weather station back into business after faffing with it and making a new mount, that took all of an hour. Ain't 3D printers great.... |

Joules the reason I mentioned the difference between PLA & ABS here where I live in Australia our summer sun is very destructive to plastics. Keep in mind when the temp is showing 45-8C in the sun its about 55C and I had a normal non mercury thermometer left in the sun pop its tube, and I actually have a picture of my weather station showing the temp reached 50.1C one day last summer, even the a/c had problems keeping us cool. Left in the sun some PLA here breaks down after a summer outside Pete |

Other end of the scale here Pete. Damp, freezing conditions, that will be the test over the next few months. Then the looong glorious English summer :lol: |
| Pete49:
you have my sympathies for your upcoming winter and condolences on your summer :ddb: Pete |
| Joules:
Pete, I am seeing no effect from the Australian sun on my PLA :scratch: |
