I just printed it, it's fantastic! However, I can't find the top cover :) An oversight? I suspect it wouldn't be overly complex to model, but being a complete beginner, I find it challenging with my limited skills :)

Replying to @TomsBasement :

Many thanks Similarly, lacking a nearby power outlet for my water meter, and having battery holders (4x1.5V), I thought I could make it work without a plug ^^ Unfortunately, I suspect that updating every 5 minutes, especially with AI, would drain the battery too quickly. In fact, my battery-powered module didn't last a single evening

I printed it in white and the lid in transparent. The light is well diffused. It works perfectly
