Impact Sprinkler Mark 1

Title: Discover the Coolness of Impact Sprinklers with Thingiverse Uploads Hello world, my recent obsession has been with Impact Sprinklers, which I think are as cool as sliced bread. They're also printable with enough work and could be quite useful. My fascination began when I saw the Impact Sprinkler on Thingiverse (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:10127). As a newbie, my first upload is a SketchUp file featuring two parts: the sprinkler head and a spoon-arm (or its technical term). You'll also need a rubber band (strong, preferably) or a spring, a bolt, and tubing to connect the head to your water source. However, I don't own a printer yet, so it remains an unprinted SketchUp file with potential tweaks needed for printing. I hope someone finds this useful, and all comments are welcome! Check out these cool links for more inspiration: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:10189, http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:9596, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6g7OSvI5GQ&NR=1, and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suHpg082Tc0. Updates include fixing flipped faces and touching up the head and arm. A separate file is provided for potential redesign of the neck before printing. In progress, Mark 2 has a flat image preview attached for inspiration. However, I realize that finishing it soon might be challenging due to time constraints.
