Description
I made a decorative desktop water fountain to liven up my desk space! The fountain makes a pleasant water trickling noise and operates independently. I need top up the water reservoir every three days or so because of evaporation.
**Required Materials:**
- USB aquarium pump.
The design fits this one:
Gikfun 3.5-9V USB Mini Submersible Water Pump Replacement for Aquariums, Fish Tank EK1527. ASIN B08JPR51YS

- 5/16" ID 7/16" OD vinyl tubing
- Superglue
- Liquid plastic welder for base cable plug (you might be able to get away with silicon)
- Spray-on rubber sealant to coat inside of base. I used flex seal clear.
- Decorations. I used simple river rocks wider than 10mm and false plants from Dollarama
**Printing:**
I printed using eSUN PLA+ on an Ender 3 V2. This material is not a petroleum plastic so it may degrade over time. My fountain has been operating for almost 4 w
