<p>Designed this as a Christmas gift for my parents and since it seems to work well so I decided to share!<br><br>It holds about 2,4 dl of water and uses a 16mm thick aluminum-tube as a rod that I cut to the length of about 33cm, which I glued to place with Permatex Plastic Welder epoxy glue.</p><p>Printed mine out of abs and sanded with up to 2000 grit sandpaper for a smooth finish. To my surprise, it printed pretty well on my ender 3 with just a large ikea bag thrown on it to act as a makeshift “enclousure”, so no need to be scared of printing this out of abs, it will likely turn out just fine!</p><p><br><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/114608/rich_content/161804d7-e11c-4a6a-b6b5-3491ade9502b/collage.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22d5e87802-fc5e-48c5-90ae-0d50c5dbc5e8%22%2C%22w%22%3A6038%2C%22h%22%3A2328%7D"><br><br>One thing to note is that this model needs fairly strong layer adhesion, as I noticed when the first one I printed splitted at the hole where the rod goes into. I fixed this by making the hole a bit bigger, so inserting the rod won't stress it, made the walls around there a bit thicker and printed the next one at lower speed. I believe that the glue used to hold the rod in place helps keeping the layers from splitting as well. With these fixes it feels very strong and I believe it will live a long life throwing water on the stones!<br>&nbsp;</p><p>I also uploaded .f3d and .step files for easy modifying so feel free to remix and please share your modified versions!<br><br>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Additional parts required:</strong><br>16mm diameter aluminum tube<br>Heat and water resistant glue (I used Permatex Plastic Weld Epoxy)</p>
