Having thought about the temperature logger for a bit, I feel that a small addition would improve performance:

This would make the unit bulkier and nice and heavy, but improve performance, stop it from sliding around on the desk, and one could stick it to metal enclosures, rack frames etc.

To DIY this, 50x5 bar stock might be flat enough. In principle one could just get a quote from JLCPCB or such, but for a one-off it's probably better to 3D print a center punch template with a thru-hole for each hole center.

If anyone is interested, I can open a PR with the FreeCAD project and exports.
