A high flow rain chain using 4 inch buckets. I use it as a gutter near my porch, its relaxing to watch during a storm and makes more sense than the strangely S shaped gutter it replaced. Please ignore the chicken recovery area to the right. Parts you will need to make:1 Base1cup for every 10 inches of chain, or to taste1 top and 1 bottom clip per cupNote: Paint the printed parts to increase durability and give a unique look Optional:1 hanger + bottom clip, measure your gutter opening before printingNote: The hanger needs to be made from a strong material like GF-ABS, it holds the entire chain weight. Parts to buy:1 chain - I used a decorative 2 inch link chain. Make sure it is long enough to go from gutter to ground1 Stainless 6mm bolt and matching nut, 60mm long for attaching chain to basePaint(optional) Assembly: Assembly is pretty simple. Slide the cups up the chain then insert the top and bottom clips through the chain links. You will need to flex the clips slightly to push them in
