Hi Robert,
I've just completed a 3D Wind Vane using the same screw together base and lower body as Christopher Baker's anemometer, wandered off a bit with the design to suit my arrangements. One thing that I did find however was that using the same axial force-field magnets as used on the anemometer design gave very inconsistent results. Changing to a diametrically magnetised magnet sorted that out though. Not that common but they are available. Perhaps this needs to be mentioned in the design notes.
I'll have to sort out some STL's and Thingyverse files for appraisal.
Regards
Len
