@[mention:4f57fc9d538949ad9eb336ddb9469bb8:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] maybe adding a mount to attach to the Joby GorillaPod tripod or similar would be a viable option? Not as neat as folding telescopic items, but still an option.

That's really neat. Simple, yet does just exactly what you want it to and solves a problem for you.

Nice case - 3D printers are really in their element doing prototypes that are only one step removed from a production injection moulding.

I find myself toying with the idea of adding extendable and fold-out legs to it, so that it could be set into position without having to be held. Would be a bit complicated to do with 3-D printing I imagine.

Well, I like it. I guess that makes me a bit of a fan . . . . . . . . . . . .

Sorry, the 'cool' gags had already been taken)!

Very cool (in both ways : )!

The enclosure looks really nice too.

Hi Scott,

Have you done any experiments directed at collimating the air flow that comes from the outlet or do you just rely on the close proximity of the outlet to the thermocouple? I would think that a collimated air flow could make your device more accurate.

By the way I would have to say that this is a cool device.

Looks promising!
