Cascada — Staggered Desktop Fountain
Created today
Description
Cascada introduces a compact, terraced water feature designed to bring a quiet sense of motion to your desk or living space. Staggered square bowls rest on gently chamfered geometric pillars, alternating between a wide blade waterfall and a concentrated U-channel spout. It's built cleanly around a standard miniature 5mm pump setup.
Features
- Alternating Spouts: Each tier drops into the next via a different profile—switching smoothly between a rounded drop-off blade and a semi-circular channel guide.
- Integrated Routing: A built-in funnel intake at the base connects straight to your pump tube, while a discrete retaining ring holds the top spout securely.
- Support-Free Tiers: The geometry tapers dynamically under each bowl at a safe 45-degree angle to print safely with zero added supports.
Setup Notes
Sized for a classic 100mm desktop footprint. Feed a standard 5mm outer-diameter silicone or PVC line from your mini pump at the bottom, through the back channel, and lock it into the top guide loop. Flow levels are tuned to keep roughly 12mm of depth per bowl before spilling over.
