# Air Quality Sensor 3D Printed Enclosure ## Overview https://youtu.be/6KpKyPQaUaE ## IOT Air Sensor Monitor Build a 3D printed enclosure for your IOT Air Quality Sensor. This project [is similar to our other air quality sensor guide](https://learn.adafruit.com/diy-air-quality-monitor), except it uses Adafruit STEMMA sensors and _has minimal soldering required_.   ![sensors_iphone-hero.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/096/792/medium640/sensors_iphone-hero.jpg?1604601153) This project uses sensors to **measure PM2.5 (particles that are 2.5 microns or smaller in diameter) dust concentrations, temperature and humidity**.  This weatherproof enclosure is modeled after a silo-home. We've included different types of mounting holes and brackets for different mounting configurations. ## Adafruit IO Build an [Adafruit IO](https://io.adafruit.com/welcome) Dashboard to visualize your air quality sensor's data at a glance. [Adafruit IO](https://io.adafruit.com/welcome) is free and includes up to 30 days of storage for your sensor's data.  You can view and interact with this data from anywhere in the world with a wireless connection. ![sensors_hero-aio.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/096/803/medium640/sensors_hero-aio.jpg?1604606811) ## Enclosure Design The case is themed to resemble a modern silo grain bin house. The roof is removable by unscrewing the top from the case. The Feather boards are securely mounted inside via heat set inserts. A mounting plate is used to secure the enclosure to a surface. Weatherproof cable gland is used to keep moisture out. The bottom cover is modular allowing for a different set of sensors. ![sensors_hero-case-open.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/096/793/medium640/sensors_hero-case-open.jpg?1604601456) ## Choose Your Sensors The enclosure and code accommodate for two different sets of sensors. Take a moment to choose your set up. - BME280 & PMS5003 - BME680 & PMSA003i ![hero-sensors-setup.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/096/802/medium640/hero-sensors-setup.jpg?1604606618) ## Prerequisite Guides Take a moment to walk through the following guides to get familiar with the board, sensors and Adafruit IO. - [Feather M4 Guide](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-feather-m4-express-atsamd51) - [Airlift FeatherWing Guide](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-airlift-featherwing-esp32-wifi-co-processor-featherwing) - [PM2.5 Air Quality Sensor](https://learn.adafruit.com/pm25-air-quality-sensor) - [Adafruit PMSA003I Air Quality Breakout](https://learn.adafruit.com/pmsa003i) - [Adafruit IO Welcome Guide](https://learn.adafruit.com/welcome-to-adafruit-io) ## Parts ### Adafruit Feather M4 Express - Featuring ATSAMD51 [Adafruit Feather M4 Express - Featuring ATSAMD51](https://www.adafruit.com/product/3857) It's what you've been waiting for, the Feather M4 Express featuring ATSAMD51.
