Francis Turbine Shower Head

Boost your shower power! Here's a fascinating fact: the Francis turbine, explained on this site (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_turbine). As for your 3D print, ensure it's of top-notch quality because precision is key to smooth rotation. Clean parts thoroughly and break in rotating components to enhance performance. Be cautious about trimming bumps or edges on flanges for a seamless fit. My initial print was done with a layer height of 0.1mm and 25% infill for the shaft, while housing, runner, and cover plate needed support structures. Attach these using 'touching build plate' support, with internal blades supporting the housing part. Some imperfect ceilings may arise due to large bridging distances, but they won't be visible when assembled. Handle print aligns with a standard European thread, although specifications aren't provided. Gaskets are optional as parts fit tightly enough. For screws, use M3x10 for 14 of them and M3x16 for four. Drill holes slightly to achieve a proper cone fit. A recent update includes an additional blade in the housing for uniform flow distribution. No gaskets are needed as parts fit snugly. Happy showering!
