This is a base that replaces the big spike on common irrigation water sprinklers (aspersor) and lets you put it wherever you want.
I did it because I have a really hard soil on my backyard, mostly composed of big rocks and compacted dry dirt. I do have a layer of black dirt with grass, but its not deep enough for the spike.
While printing this, you should try to print it as void as possible, so you can then fill it up with whatever heavy thing you have. I tried with concrete, but it ended up shattering and also falling apart. You can try filling it with sand, or a compound of sand and epoxy resin, or anything that is heavy and won't rust or degrade over time. To get the print as void as possible, print it with lightning infill at 5%, and be sure to review everything, since there are some internal features that might not have a proper support, and fail to print. You should also add the hole at the bottom, with a base layer modifier.
You'll need:
- 2. 6-32 20mm long screws with bolts*
- 1. 90º ¾" elbow
*I'm not completely sure on that, since I mostly use metric bolts, but I accidentally bought an imperial screw at my local shop. The screw has to have a 4mm diameter, and the bolt has to be 8mm wide. If you have to buy, first get the bolt, and then get the matching screw.
Keep in mind that you have to stop the print mid-way to add the bolts.
