About this 3D model

This object was made in Tinkercad. https://www.tinkercad.com/things/1k9j7PS50ly #TinkerFun This fountain is perfect for a patio or deck table or even a garden. You'll need: 1- Basin2- Either the Ball Platform or the Ball and Columns Platform3- Small fish tank or fountain pump4- Tube for the pump - IMPORTANT: There is no hole for the tube in the platform. This is so you can make an appropriate sized hole for the tube of your choice.5- Some sort of sealant - IMPORTANT: Most likely you will need to seal your print with epoxy or clear coat. Generally 3D prints are NOT water tight. OPTIONAL:- I designed a dome roof that sits on the ring of columns, as well as a flat roof.- The flat roof can easily be remixed to be made into a roof of your own design - Alternatively, you could just put the figure or statue of your choice on top of the flat roof The goal was to create a fountain that: 1- Does not splash2- Would be large3- Requires minimal material for its size4- Requires no supports5- Could be customized6- Could be easily sealed7- Looks good I think these goals are accomplished as follows: 1- Water should flow over the ball and into the basin in a continuous flow rather than falling2- Each piece is about as big as my printer can handle3- Did my best, let me know if you have any ideas. I've found 3mm walls are plenty strong.4- As long as your printer can't handle a 45 degree overhang, no supports required5- Aquarium pebbles could be used on the platform's conical basin, as well as the platform itself. - You can add anything you want to the flat roof, or design a roof of your own - Since it has to be sealed anyway, might as well spray paint the discrete pieces different colors6- All surfaces where water flows/is held are easily accessible7- You tell me!
