1/8th scale shovel with mounting straps

cults3d

Background: I wanted to have a scale looking, easy to print shovel with realistic mounts for my 1/8th 3d printed RCs from www.3dsets.com There are of course some out there, but I wanted to practice my 3d modelling and needed a small challenge ;) The Model: - Modeled in 1/8th scale after a 80cm shovel - without resizing the standard shovel is 10cm long - There is a version which is 15mm longer. - I have also added a 3-piece model with a slightly angled shovel. - Mounted to the car with M2 screws (I've used M2x6) Assembly The handle and shovel should be a snug fit, but I recommend to glue it Check the orientation of the handle/shovel when putting it on the shaft as it only fits in one orientation. Attention: the separate shovel is a little bit delicate as the hole has some overhangs where you might have to do some slight filing/trimming if the shaft won't fit. Don't force it as you might break it.
