That's both lovely and fascinating.

Yeah, Not sure I would trust it but hey, it's still better than anything Africa has come up with in 4k years.

From the post:
>No one likes cleaning out water spouts. [NeedItMakeIt] wanted to collect rainwater and was interested in using a Coanda filter that those used on hydroelectric plants to separate out debris. Ultimately, he decided to design his own and 3D print it. The design uses a sloping surface with teeth on it to coax water to go in one direction and debris to go in another. It fits into a typical spout, and seems like it works well enough. Some commenters note that varying volumes of rain and different types of debris behave differently, which is probably true. However, there are similar commercial products, so you’d guess there would be some value to using the technique.
