Ariens Auger Oil Dipstick

thingiverse

I built an auger oil check for my Ariens snowblower because I had some free time and wanted a challenge. Being the perfectionist that I am, I decided to print mine with a 100% infill for added durability. My first prototype was printed at 20% infill and although it worked, I soon realized that printing it sideways with supports would have made it much stronger. The problem is that I printed it upright and it almost broke in half. If you decide to build this, I recommend printing it sideways and using supports for extra strength. It measures between 1.7 and 1.9 inches long. I know the exact dimensions are 1.6 to 1.9 inches, but who's counting? This is only my second design, so bear with me as I continue to improve!
