[Sensor Sub-Component] Water Level Sensor Housing

This is a two-piece Thing: Top Tube and Bottom Tube.

This Thing combines with my Sharp GP2Y0A21 IR Sensor Housing and IR Sensor Puck to form an infrared water level measurement sensor.

• The two pieces fit together in a friction / pressure fit. The cylinder is perforated to provide visual indication of the puck, water level, and any obstructing debris.

• The top three threads are 4mm ANSI M Metric threads at 17mm deep, and join the IR Sensor Housing to the tube structure.

If I were to re-mix this part, I would remove the side perforations, and replace them with a vertical "window", either completely plastic-free, or with a transparent material. This would eliminate ripples in the body of water from affecting the puck and therefore the sensor reading, by extending the tube under the water's surface.

I might add an "intermediate" tube section, so users can extend the housing, up to 80cm long (Sharp's listed max distance for the IR sensor)

I will coat the part in an inert, non-toxic, Lac-based spray enamel to prevent the degradation of the ABS plastic in water.
