Description

Boost Me (for free)

This was challenging project that took about 10 redesigns to get right. I really hope you enjoy it, please show your support with a boost and I will continue to make more projects like it.

This was probably my most ambitious project to date. I spent a lot of time studying unique fountain sculptures and ran across the idea of incorporating the water as an active part of the design. My vision was to have a fountain where the water extends the dress of the girl in a laminar cone of water. I really hope you like it!

 

The desing uses 3 platic screws (included) to connect the bottom two pieces. This is designed so you can adjust the gap for the waterflow to better suit your needs. However if your waterflow is too low, tightening them all the way alone may not be enough.

To get the most from this design:

  • You will need relatively debris free water (I am using it in my pond and run the water through a simple filter and it seems to work well)
  • The water flow needs to be sufficient to get a good flow. (I use this one that does about 9 gallons/minute)
  • Prints with a female ½ PVC pipe adapter so you can screw it in easily to your system.
  • Use the screws to tighten or losten the fountain to improve the flow profile
  • I would print it in PETG so that it is more water and UV resistant
  • For my fountains, I always paint them with some spray paint to give them a more stone like look. (Make sure you let it fully cure before putting in in your pond with fish)


I also have several other popular fountain designs, and some other items that wil be of interest to those who have a pond or water feature.

You can check out my other designs at my homepage here: https://spencermann.com

It is a work in progress, but I hope to provide more information about my models, and some tips if you want to create your own.
