I don’t know how to do that Dave- I just uploaded it straight from my phone. It works on android too but seemingly only sound on a windows pc. Strange is I’ve posted other videos which I assumed had worked- didn’t realise there was a problem - maybe something new 🤷‍♂️

Windows has been a pain recently messing with video codecs, I used to watch the BTCC live qualifying on ITV Player but it no longer works on there so have to watch it on the wifes Mac Book now.

If you've got the time and can be bothered you can upload it to YTube and post a link on here.

Try a different format AVI ?

Been imaging it today and seeing is going rapidly downhill, getting difficult to focus now so don't be surprised if the view is rubbish

Dave

Like this, if you need it let me know the width and I'll cut a bit off.

Dave

Hi Gina, I've got some 120mm X 50mm X 3mm aluminium angle kicking around, I could bung a bit in the post if it helps, save bending if it's just a right angle needed.

Dave

I'd have thought 25mm ID would work OK if you made a standard bottom pipe you could experiment with different top bits to produce different effects

Dave

Something like this, excuse the wobbly drawing.

It should produce a mushroom shaped water effect which can be fine tuned by raising / lowering centre bit.

Dave

It may work better if the top bit had a curved underside and the bottom tube could probably just be straight sided.

Dave

If you have a central hole you can print a mushroom top like a giant drawing pin to fit in the windy weather so it produces a dome of water.

Dave

The trouble with fountains in a small pond is the wind can actually blow the water sideways and empty the pond.

Dave

Nice miniature water lily would be good in there, the leaves would provide shade to discourage algae.

Dave

As someone once said, "If you build it they will come" 

Dave

I've got one of those to quarantine my fish in if they need treating.

Here's our pond dig many years ago, we dug a trench and made a concrete collar then excavated the inside and fitted a liner.

Dave

My daughter and dog filling it and getting the creases out of the liner

Me in the shallow end 

Some of the Koi Carp folk used to dig a rough hole in the ground and pour a bit of concrete around the edge then some chicken wire and a bit more concrete and make hollow rocks, a whole lot lighter than the real thing and once set and cleaned they were painted with yogurt ( I think ) which then went green and mossy looking.

Dave

You could print a waterfall in sections, the sound of running water is quite nice, not sure how sketch up is at drawing " wiggly wobbly things, ie not straight lines.

Dave

Maybe too late now but it works better if the stones / edging overlap the pond edges.

back filling and levelling.

Don't worry Gina the water will level itself 

Dave

My Koi pond holds 3000 gallons took me and my son weeks and a few skips to dig it out by hand, nice wet clay that glued itself to the shovel, I was a lot fitter then 

Dave

Blimey Gina when do you have a rest, making me feel guilty now as I've been doing the front garden off and on for a couple of weeks, keep stopping to have a break

Print finished and looks virtually perfect.  Printing time 1h 23m.  The 300mm steel rule shows the scale.  That print is BIG!!

 

Working well now after all that effort you could use that to blow your own trumpet and deservedly so 

Dave

That title confused me, was expecting this
