Water Sprinkler

prusaprinters

<p>This is a simple yard/garden water sprinkler. It has no moving parts and creates approx a 30' (10m) diameter spray of water. It is printable with no supports required. The triangular outriggers are added to allow for a "Spike" or tent-peg to be pushed into the ground to hold the unit stable and flat. If placed on a hard surface like macadam (for children to play in the spray?), the active water pressure holds the sprinkler down nicely.</p> <p>You will need to provide a rubber hose gasket to prevent leaking at the connection.</p> <p>I attached a small Vid of it in operation:<br/> <figure class="media"> <oembed url="http://youtu.be/t-0O5fomYsM"></oembed> </figure> </p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>I originally printed mine using PLA with 3 walls and 50% infill. I have not yet had a chance to run a print using PETG, but I am confident that would be a better option to handle higher pressures.</p> <p>The sliced file has not yet been tested. My Prusa i3 MK3 is still in shipping. If you are able to print using this file before I am able to get my new machine online, please let me know. I have printed many of these from the STL (Makerbot Rep2), and am confident in the design.</p>
