- Found a small submersible pump for $3 at a thrift store
- I've always wanted to build a small water feature...like one of those relaxation tabletop fountains you get on amazon
- I love villages esp my Dad's hometown Lingampet and I also love rains. I wanted to see if I can incorporate these two ideas.
- Started off with a rough design of what I wanted to build.
- Designed some parts on Fusion and 3d printed them.
- Bought a base container for the fountain
- First trial was great but there were several things that needed to be fixed as well as the roof design to be finished (most important, I wanted it to look authentic).
- Ordered miniature clay tiles from aliexpress.
- Designed and printed reinforcements for the design including a height increasing base to bring the rain unit and the house together.
- Spray painted the house with primer, painted the window, and installed the tiles once they arrived.
- Went for a bigger tray from Dollarama and put the unit together.
- Love the result. Likely I won't hold on to this toy for long but happy now!
