bird bath shower head 5/16" 2
Created 1 months ago
Description
A friction-fit spray nozzle designed to convert a standard 5/16" ID water line into a wide, gentle shower for a bird bath or fountain. The part is modelled upside down (spray face flat on the Z-plane) so it prints cleanly as a single hollow body without any internal or external supports.
Parameters to Play With
If you take this into your own setup, here are the numbers driving the shape:
- The Stem Fit: Tapers from 8.5mm down to 7.2mm over a 20mm length. This is the sweet spot to wedge tightly into soft 5/16" (7.94mm) tubing without blowing out under mild pump pressure.
- The Spray Face: A 45mm outer diameter with a flat 2mm-thick face plate.
- The Holes: Uses a grid of 1.5mm holes spaced 3.5mm apart.
Remix Hooks
- Flow Rate: If your pump is struggling to push water through, widen the internal 4.5mm bore or bump the face holes from 1.5mm up to 2.5mm.
- Directional Spray: Instead of a full grid of holes, mask off half the face to create a directional fan spray.
- Barbs: The smooth taper seals well for low pressure, but if you're running higher pressure, swapping the smooth cone for a stepped barbed profile will lock the tubing down harder.

Moderne Zweifarb-Pflanzenschilder
Diese drei Pflanzenschilder kombinieren ein sauberes, zweifarbiges Layout mit einer robusten Konstruktion. Der Grundkörper misst 160 mm in der Gesamtlänge, wobei ein verstärkter Erdspieß für sicheren Halt im Substrat sorgt. Der doppelte Rahmen und die moderne serifenlose Schrift heben die Beschriftung ("White Widow" und "The Church") deutlich hervor. Design- und Druckhinweise Zweifarbdruck: Konzipiert für einen Filamentwechsel ab Z-Höhe 2,0 mm. Der Grundkörper bildet das Bett, während Ränder und Text als 0,8 mm starke Akzente aufsitzen. Verstärkung: Eine konisch zulaufende Mittelrippe auf dem Erdspieß verhindert ein Abknicken in dichter Erde, ohne den Druck zu verkomplizieren. Keine Stützen nötig: Die Schilder liegen komplett flach auf dem Druckbett und können direkt nacheinander oder gleichzeitig gedruckt werden.

Ground Spike Cup Base
What it's for A heavy-duty circular base with an integrated ground spike, designed to hold poles, pots, or yard fixtures securely in the grass or dirt.

Dimensions Overall footprint: 115 mm diameter Base height: 25 mm Inner pocket: 65 mm diameter, 20 mm deep (leaving a 5 mm solid floor) Spike length: 80 mm Print notes For best results, rotate the model 180 degrees in your slicer so the flat top of the base sits on the build plate and the spike points straight up. This allows the entire part to print without supports.
