Fog Fountains!

Well, I saw the halloween fog attachment for 3D Printy's desktop fountain system and that made me come up with the idea to adapt cheap ultrasonic atomizers to work with the system to make some pretty fog fountains.

For now I've just finished making the first one after several iterations and fixing unexpected fluid dynamics issues, but I'm going to have fun making a lot more fog fountain modules : )

Here's a little preview:

Instructions:

If you want a little less fog, use the wickless plate and skip steps 4 and 5, but make sure the water level is high enough to touch the piezo disc.

Time to start then:                                                            

1. First things first, you'll need to unclip the wires of the piezo disc from the connector2. Next you'll need to pass the wires through the dedicated hole

3. Next you'll need to squeeze the piezo disc inside the dedicated slot until it gets to the bottom, and after that you need to clip the wires back into the connector

4. With that done, you'll now need to attach the wick holder cap

5. Now you'll need to cut the cotton wick down to the required size (enough to not touch the bottom of the fountain) and push it into the wick holder while making sure it's touching the piezo disc (fray the end in contact with the disc for a little extra fog).

6. Finally, you'll need to attach the desired fog fountain and connect it to the electronic board

Plug it in and have fun looking at the pretty fog : )

Needed electronics:

I used this ~3$ piezo kit from eBay, which can also be found on Amazon too but costs a little bit more:

It's pretty common and easy to find on eBay, I also ordered a double piezo module so I'll see if that one will be compatible with my remix once it arrives, and start thinking about multi fogger fountains for even more mist : )
