Welcome to the 3D-PAWS Community! We’re excited to bring together weather enthusiasts, scientists, and innovators who are passionate about low-cost, accessible meteorological monitoring.

Our forum is dedicated to the 3D-Printed Automatic Weather Station (3D-PAWS) initiative, a groundbreaking project by UCAR that enables communities worldwide to build reliable weather stations using 3D printing technology. Whether you’re a researcher, community scientist, or technology enthusiast, this is your space to share knowledge, troubleshoot challenges, and collaborate on expanding our global weather monitoring capabilities.

Here, you’ll connect with a global network of individuals working to make weather data collection more accessible, affordable, and community-driven. From Kenya to Barbados, our 3D-PAWS stations are filling critical gaps in meteorological observations, and we can’t wait to hear about your experiences and insights!
