About this generator
How much rain fell last night? A straight tube catches rain at the same rate as the ground, so the water height is the rainfall.
How to use
- Pick the height and units.
- Print the tube upright and the stake flat.
- Push the stake into open ground, snap the tube into the cradles.
Printing tips
- Use the 3MF for a scale in a second color; it's raised 0.6 mm.
- Empty the tube after reading.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the tube straight?
In a straight tube the water level equals the rainfall, so the scale reads it directly in mm or inches.
How do I get the scale in another color?
Use the 3MF: the scale is a separate part, raised 0.6 mm.
