Made a mecanically counting rain gauge with a housing.
It´s collecting 1 mm of rain water until the tiping bucket tips and turns the ratchet wheel with numbers on it.
Can measure up to 38mm of rain until it returns to 0 again.
It´s 120 mm long and 57mm wide.

To this rain gauge you will need to make 4 length of 1.75mm filament pins that you should melt on the end according to the picture with the following measurements:
2x 18mm
1x 13mm
1x 4mm
Print without supports and larger pieces with 0.2 mm layer height and smaller pieces with 0.1.
Recommended items needed:
1x 1.75mm filament
1x glue
1x lighter or similar (for melting ends of filament)
Edit: unwohlpol fixed the normals for the bucket and the floor.
