Showerhead with an impeller that cuts 4 narrow high pressure rays of water into small droplets surrounded by a spray of lower velocity water. Probably has a "water saving" effect as you don't need high pressure for it to work. It has a standard 1/2" european showerhead thread..
Printing and assembly instruction:
The main body should be printed with at least 4 perimeters and 100% infill* you may or may not need to add supports. The overhang is 64 degrees, my mk4s prints with good surface finish all round as long as I print it with 5 perimeters and the overhang facing front towards the cooling fan.
The impeller prints without brim but the cap tends to come loose without brim.
Assembly: You will want to clean out the holes on the impeller with a 1.5mm drill bit or a small razor knife or something similar as the tolerances are quite tight, it's also necessary to "work" the impeller against it's mounting pins to make sure it will spin freely.
Place the impeller in the many body on it's rotation axis pin. The cap has an alignment pin which should be aligned with the alignment groove on the main body, it is located forward away from the handle. It's a simple press fit that seems to hold quite well.. Make sure the impeller mates with the axis pin on the cap as you push it down.
When all is done, check that the impeller spins, if not, just 'exercise' the spots that bind by pushing down and wiggling the impeller..
!!!!! Important !!!!! You most likely need to file the layer lines off the end of the threads otherwise it wont seal properly. If you don't have a rigid file just use sand paper on a hard flat surface.
*The model is "hollowed out" by design and thus you should print it with many perimiters and or 100% infill for reasons being that when I developed this, I noticed that the infill cavities would slowly get filled by pressurized water. And it's probably a bad thing to have significant quantities of water trapped inside the infill with no way to escape (read bacterial growth, etc).
As for materials, so far so good with PLA, I'm in the process of printing a PET-G version. Unless you take very, very hot showers PLA should be fine.
Happy printing
