Twisting Fountain – A Fun and Educational Water Gadget / Toy / Fidget

Experience the magic of water flow with the Twisting Fountain! This 3D printed gadget turns a simple motion into a playful mini fountain.

FOR BAMBULAB USERS WE UPLOAD THE MODEL HERE, JUST CLICK & PRINT: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1719562-twisting-fountain-fidget-toy-print-in-place

HOW IT WORKS

1. Fill in water on Side A
2. Rotate the model
3. Now the water flow through the internal channel and create a fountain effect on the another Side B (see pictures & GIF)

ADVANTAGES

• Educational & Fun – a simple way to demonstrate principles of water flow and pressure.
• Easy to use – just add water, twist, and enjoy.
• Relaxing & Engaging – perfect as a calming toy or playful desktop gadget.
• Optimized for 3D printing – easy to print, no supports needed. (print in place)

Whether for science exploration, playful experiments in school, or just a relaxing distraction – the Twisting Fountain is a unique addition to your 3D-printed collection.

Physics behind it: Water is filled in on one side of the model and then the whole piece is rotated. The water flows through the inner channel, accelerates due to the continuity equation and the Bernoulli principle, and finally reaches a narrowing at the outlet. This nozzle effect forces the water to speed up and exit as a small fountain jet.

• Filament: Bambulab PLA Matte black(used in our make)
• Infill: 15% Gyroid or Grid
• Layer Height: 0.2mm
• Walls: 3
• Nozzle Size: 0.4mm
• Support Structure: None needed, ensuring a hassle-free printing process.
• Brim: None needed, but when you have adhesion problems than activate the brim
