Tesla Fountain

thingiverse

Design based on Nikola Tesla patent 1,113,716 - Fountain. https://teslauniverse.com/nikola-tesla/patents/us-patent-1113716-fountain Propeller remixed from: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2489100 Designed for 21mm dia. MT84 3V - 6V DC motor, powered with 5V USB - however I do not tested it yet, but it should work just fine. For gluing parts I reccomend to use CA glue. Motor shaft can be secured in printed shaft by adding a bit of glue via holes on the side. Rim and main body can be tricky to assemble, best way to glue them togheter is: - put a sheet of aluminum or other type of foil on flat surface - place a rim and main body upside-down on foil - press both parts to the foil and put few drops of CA glue on joint, use a toothpick to spread glue so it can completly fill a gap between both parts - keep pressing patrs for about one minute, or/and sprinkle a baking soda on joint (baking soda sets CA glue in few seconds) - remove foil from glued patrs, sharp blade or sanding paper can be needed to remove foil. Feel free to remix, fountain should have more decorative things, especially motor housing and mount - unfortunatley my designing skills are on poor level and simply I am not able to design and add decorations.
