Planting tool handle

thingiverse

The handle grip for garden tools is a small, round piece that fits snugly onto the end of the tool. Its inner diameter measures exactly 22 millimeters, making it a precise fit for the tool's stem. The manufacturer had attempted to pre-fit this part before shipping, but despite being hammered into place with considerable force, it refused to break apart. This is likely due to the material used, PLA plastic, which is known for its durability and resistance to impact. To print this handle grip, a 3D printer was used with settings optimized for high-quality output: six perimeters were printed around the outside of the part, and an infill density of 10% was chosen to provide sufficient structural integrity without adding unnecessary bulk. However, users may want to consider adding custom support material specifically around the hole where the tool's handle attaches, as this area is particularly prone to stress and potential breakage.
