HMS Sh1tAway

Update 2018/12/07: it's clear that this works extremely well, check out the images... a.k.a. a huge success story :D Well, what can be said... just one thing, HMS stands for Horse Manure Shovel... Take that acronym experts :D It was designed on request by a colleague - she mentioned that traditional shovels like the Mistboy wouldn't work well on grass or grass patches. So, an idea came up to create a comb-shaped front with broad, flattened fork tips - ideally the tips would slide through the grass while still providing enough surface area to keep everything together :) Designed to fit perfectly onto a TEVO Black Widow printer. The amount of filament required changes depending on perimeters and infill density, of course. With 4 perimeters, 0.25mm layer height, and 25% infill, I used approximately 190m of filament or about 600 grams. For added rigidity, I recommend using the 2D or 3D honeycomb infill pattern. Use a 28mm wooden broomstick. You'll need three washers, a long (40mm) screw to screw in from the bottom, and two short ones to screw in from the front. These two prevent rotation, while the bottom one (with a washer) keeps the stick in place. Enjoy.
