This object was crafted in Tinkercad. https://www.tinkercad.com/things/1k9j7PS50ly #TinkerFun This fountain is ideal for a patio, deck table or even a garden. You will need: 1- Basin 2- Either the Ball Platform or the Ball and Columns Platform 3- Small fish tank or fountain pump 4- Tube for the pump - NOTE: There is no hole in the platform for the tube. You can make an appropriate sized hole for the tube of your choice. 5- Some sort of sealant - NOTE: Most likely you will need to seal your print with epoxy or clear coat. Generally, 3D prints are not water tight. OPTIONAL: - I designed a dome roof that sits on the ring of columns, as well as a flat roof. - The flat roof can easily be remixed to be made into a roof of your own design - Alternatively, you could just put the figure or statue of your choice on top of the flat roof The goal was to create a fountain that: 1- Does not splash 2- Is large in size 3- Requires minimal material for its size 4- Requires no supports 5- Can be customized 6- Can be easily sealed 7- Looks good I believe these goals are accomplished as follows: 1- Water should flow over the ball and into the basin in a continuous flow rather than falling 2- Each piece is about as big as my printer can handle 3- I did my best, let me know if you have any ideas. I've found 3mm walls to be plenty strong. 4- As long as your printer can't handle a 45 degree overhang, no supports are required 5- Aquarium pebbles could be used on the platform's conical basin, as well as the platform itself - You can add anything you want to the flat roof, or design a roof of your own. Since it has to be sealed anyway, might as well spray paint the discrete pieces different colors. 6- All surfaces where water flows/is held are easily accessible 7- You tell me!
