Multi Bowl Water Fountain
A 3D Printable Water Fountain. The fountain consists of seven 3D-printed parts, two stems, three little bowls, one big bowl, and a vase. It was designed this way to give the effect of running water. The design uses the 30mm 3d printed pump designed previously.
It is recommended that multiple layers of spray paint are used to give the best seal if printing in PLA. The printing process that I would recommend is described in the post-printing session.

Notes:
Printing
When printing these parts, it's recommended to increase the wall size to a high number. In these prints> 2mm was used. This allows a better seal to be created and thus stops the water from seeping through the prints. PETG is a better material to use for watertight parts. However, none was available during the design and printing of this fountain. To solve this a three-step painting process was devised.
Painting
- Step 1: Apply Primer to the prints, allowing further paint to stick to the plastic
- Step 2: Apply Acrylic paint of the chosen colour to finish off the parts. Multiple coats are required.
