The file 'Ultrasonic Bug Repelling Floating Waterlily – #MakeItFloat 3D Printer Model' is (STL) file type, size is 1.3MB.
This is a floating waterlily that uses ultrasound in the 38-40kHz frequency range to repel mosquitoes and other unwanted insects from your pool or standing water, to reduce how much you have to skim and insect breeding.
Anyone who has a pool knows how much fun it can be, but also how bad it is to skim when the insects are bad. If you have a pond or standing water nearby where you like to relax, you also know how annoying insects are, and how itchy their bites can be.
So, take on the problem at the source, and reduce the number of insects that are attracted to you your pool to begin with. This also goes for ponds and standing water. Insects are repelled by higher ultrasonic frequencies, that people cannot hear, so harness this knowledge to start printing your way to a more peaceful and less itchy summer.
A single iteration was necessary to add the stabilizing ledge that drops down from the lilypad. I am still working on the design when I can, to make it better, test how well it repels insects and see how long it will last with a 9V batter to power it.
