Fountain head which sends water downward. Mount on 1/2" copper pipe or similar.
I designed this one as the other fountain head I made (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2170837) caused too much splashing, excited the fish too much and caused the pot to lose 1" of water each day.
You print the upper and the lower then CA glue together - quite self explanatory.
Water exits the aperture as a broad stream, but then turns into droplets, which is not quite what I was aiming for. To make the water come down in a circular stream I need to modify the angle of the aperture and the support blades - I have now uploaded another fountain nozzle which is similar - see http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2172585
