Description

Bring some spring into the house with this Small fountain.

A beautiful decoration between flowers and plants or for humidification.

The parts are simply plugged together and the height can be individually determined by the number of bowls.

The individual elements are only sealed via the conical fit of the bowls, which is why it is important to print with good quality. => 0.16 high quality

In addition, only a small water pump is required, such as this one: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B09Z2NS9YF?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

The pipe for connecting the pump to the tower is included with the pump and can be inserted directly into the tower from below after it has been shortened a little.

If you are using a different pump, it is best to print a small adapter hose with TPU.

Start operation:

It is best to remove the shells from the second shell and then start the pump. Only when the pump has pumped out the air, attach the upper shells.

If you don’t like that some water runs along the tower, you can glue the parts together. But then you should not glue the first shell to the tower. (See start operation)

mine leaks through and had to be sealed with a resin

The designer has replied

@Staprin3D

Was the lower shell leaking? It depends very much on which material you use and above all on the print quality. So depending on the printer, it is better to print a little slower to get a good layer bond. Possibly also increase the printing temperature slightly.

Replying to @Staprin3D :

unless prints are sealed with a resin or a different type of sealant they will leak. Up close there are a lot of gaps that water will flow through

@dudeman2871

Have you considered adding a tube? what diameter would suffice?

The designer has replied

@Staprin3D

Hi, the diameter of the tube in the housing is 13mm The diameter of my pump is also 13mm I have now added a printprofile for a pipe so that the pipe can be printed in TPU (or with another material)
