Steampunk Weather Instrument

This is the steampunk version of the weather instrument. It has temperature, humidity, pressure, today/tomorrow forecast, today/tomorrow temperature high/lows, and wind direction/speed. The rooster rotates to show wind direction!


The gauges are 3D printed from PLA plastic and then wrapped in copper sheet. The rooster is 3D printed from copper-filled PLA. The pipe fittings are from Home Depot.

The forecast wheels are run by miniature stepper motors.
The top board is a stepper motor driver. The lower board is the brains.
