Tap Fountain, Menorca, Spain
This fountain is one of several similar designs in Europe (the others are in Ypres, Belgium and Bahia de Cadiz, Spain). Located in the Santa Galdana Resort area on the Spanish island of Menorca, this installation takes advantage of its design to create an optical illusion. The supports are hidden under the water that is flowing out of the tap, making it look like the faucet is floating in mid-air without any support at all.
The Santa Galdana area is developed for tourism, but much of the natural beauty of Menorca remains just outside the built-up areas, making this not only the home of an unusual and creative fountain, but also a good destination for ecotourism.
Here is a new idea of mine made once again with an aquarium pump.
Necessary material:
Necessary material:
- An aquarium pump
- A transparent tube with an external diameter of 17 mm
- Spray paint.
- Silicone
- One switch (optional)
The attached files '.stl' are divided into two categories, 'faucet ...' necessary to create the tap and 'vase ...' necessary to create the vase and the central supports.
You can choose to run the pump cable through the pot or pull the cable out of the top of the pot.
To run the cable through the vase, print 'Vase with a hole for the cable.stl' + 'Vase perforated frame'.
To run the cable over the vase, print 'Vase without hole' + 'Vase perforated frame ext cable'.
IMPORTANT FOR 3D PRINTING:
The file 'faucet water diffuse.stl' must be printed in that position with the supports. This is to allow correct printing of the internal part.

I have joined the various parts with silicone.
I also used silicone to isolate the cable that passes through the pot.
CAUTION!!!
If you run the pump cable through the pot you have to cut it. Electric current is dangerous! Do this job to those who can do it!
