Folding Shovel for backpacking
thingiverse
Designed in fusion360. Printed in PETG to dig poopey holes while on a backpacking trip. Very loosely inspired by my old army e-tool. Worked great even in rocky soil. Printed the handle and nut separate from the shovel/swivel. Swivel hinge prints in place. Prints without supports. When you print the handle put the flat end (not the threaded end) on the print bed. The hole in the center allows addition of a 3M bolt for additional rigidity (probably not necessary). I added a gasket from a regular garden hose between the nut and handle to provide a little additional cushion/stability.
