"the moneyrain" - 3d printed fountain

thingiverse

A little fountain I built. It's a circular pump system consisting of a dollar-sign with a hole in it and a small bowl to hold the water, powered by a motor commonly used in solar toy kit projects. The motor I used is one that can be found here: https://www.amazon.de/matches21-Solar-Propeller-Bausatz-Werkset-Bastelset/dp/B015Q6Y4HM/ref=sr_1_49?ie=UTF8&qid=1543832303&sr=8-49&keywords=solar+kinder Assembly: Required hardware: * 2 M1.5 screws, 3 - 4 mm long * 2 M3 screws, 5-7mm long * The motor from the link To assemble the pump, start by screwing the motor to the back of the main body with the M1.5 screws. Next, attach the rotor on the motor shaft by press-fitting it into place. Make sure the rotor can rotate freely without any friction. Then, screw the lid onto the Brunnen (the bowl) using the M3 screws. Attach the dollar-sign to the main body of the pump by gluing it in place, making sure the holes are aligned so water can flow through. Note that the pump is mounted upside down, with the motor facing upwards. Finally, put the motor cover on and cut it to fit the wires of the motor through. And you're done! My fountain runs best at around 3 volts, but feel free to run it up to 5 volts if you prefer. Happy building!
