Summary

This is a fountain head for a bird bath sized fountain. It breaks the flow up into small streams to create a curtain like effect. It also makes a subtle running water sound.

Two stl files are included, one with custom supports and one without. You may have better luck with your slicer but I found Cura's standard supports did not work. If you print the one with custom supports you will not need any extra supports.

The hole on the bottom of the fountain head will fit snugly onto a standard 1/2 inch PVC pipe.

The rest of the fountain is still a work in progress but ,basically, there is a 3 gallon bucket under the upside down pot with a 2 gallon/minute submersible pump.

I added the base fitting on May 20, 2024. This fitting gets bonded onto the plastic potting tray and has a press fit to the PVC pipe. The pump rubber hose is pressed into the bottom side. This part will likely have to be modified to work in any new setup.
