Small fountain pump filter

thingiverse

This is a small double-walled (for increased flow) filtering cage for a small outdoor fountain pump. The internal space of the cage is 48mm wide x 72mm long x 60mm tall. The hole for the outflow on the top is 16mm in diameter. My outdoor fountain pump has not clogged after installing this filter, and it used to clog every other day. It has even passed the "bone dry" test, in which I forgot to refill the fountain until it was completely empty, and so all of the debris within the fountain should have been pulled into the pump filter. I simply refilled the fountain and everything worked great! In the past I would have had to remove and clean the pump if I let it run dry. I apologize for the lack of a thingiview-able preview. Blender is not the best tool for trying to union 1000 little pieces, and apparently thingiverse agrees. Despite the questionable geometry, it prints fine in Cura. If I ever figure out how to do this in F360 or fix it in Meshmixer, I'll definitely update the files.
