Catit Cat Fountain Spouts

thingiverse

My cat was being picky lately about not drinking out of the cat fountain, and instead wanting the bathroom sink turned on for him all the time... so I made some sink-like attachments for the Catit Cat Fountain. Models are oriented how I printed them for the ones I actually printed, which are: Pipe - Full Fins -- Printed WITHOUT supports, post-process heated x-acto knife and cut off 5mm from the top of the fins. Spout - Paraboloid -- Printed WITH supports touching build plate. Spout - 90° Chute, 16° Incline, Sliced Small -- Printed WITHOUT supports. Spout - 180° Pipe, 40mm Vertical, 30mm Arc -- Printed WITH supports touching build plate. Spout - 180° Pipe, 30mm Vertical, 20mm Arc -- Printed WITH supports touching build plate. The 180° round pipes have a built-in support inside the peak of the arc to avoid needing anything else. I did NOT print the others. The partial fins pipe is a WIP, but likely needs a bevel off the short side of the fins to avoid needing supports, but might work without it. I ended up using my post-processed original full fin pipe. The box chute likely should get rotated like the others onto the chute edges, and support under the box. The larger 90 degree angled slice chute should print fine without support since the smaller version did. I would think the non-sliced one would as well. The 90 degree sliced pipe spout is anyone's guess as to how it would turn out. It was made with two pipes at 90 degree angle to each other, just nudged into place by hand, with cylinder holes to clean it out at the junction, and a quarter sphere back piece nudged into place with a sphere hole then cut out of that. It may not even be water-tight, as it was just an idea between the 180 degree arc spouts, and the box chute, before moving on to the angled chutes, and finally the paraboloid.
