Water Wheel Fountain #TinkerMechanical

myminifactory

This object was created using Tinkercad. https://www.tinkercad.com/things/iGokGZjPvYU (The link leads to Tinkercad, where the components are arranged separately and optimized for direct printing). The assembled design can be found here: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/loSmxLPfjCN. I designed this mechanical Persian water wheel to lift the water to a certain height, then let it flow back down using interchangeable parts. The model is fully printable and requires no additional materials. The fountain components are all interchangeable, allowing you to easily swap them out for other types to create even more unique waterfalls. This was my first experience with Tinkercad and one of my very first 3D designs. Since I had so much fun designing this object, I'm definitely looking forward to creating more cool things, which is why I started a blog. The design process of this object was the subject of my very first blog post, and it can be found here. A video of the working wheel can also be seen here.
