prusaprinters

<p>A 3D printable modern take on the venerable <strong>Garden Rake, </strong>designed to rake leafs, soil, sand, pine needles, fertilizer and other items around your garden, yard or at the beach.</p><p>The design consist of 3 parts that can be easily 3D printed, without any support, on a mid-size 3D Printer with a build area of at least 170 mm X 170 mm (~6.7” X 6.7”) or larger. The parts all have M16-02 threads incorporated into their design. They can be assembled by simply screwing the joiner into the handle and the rake body.</p><p>They can be printed with a variety of materials, including PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA and many other types of printable materials.</p><p>PLA works well for this application as long as the parts will not be used, stored or kept at in a high temperature environment, exceeding ~55 C (~ 130 F).</p><p>PETG and ASA are other excellent choices.</p><p>The object should be durable, easy to maintain, and last for a long time.</p><p><i>September 23, 2021</i></p><p><i>A revised stronger joiner MK1.5 for this tool can be found here: URL: </i><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/76689-stronger-gaden-tool-handle-joiner-mk15"><i>https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/76689-stronger-gaden-tool-handle-joiner-mk15</i></a><i>&nbsp;</i></p><p><strong>Printing Details</strong></p><p><strong>Recommended print settings with a .4 mm nozzle</strong></p><p>- Layer Height: .2 mm</p><p>- 7 perimeters or shells (3.15 ~ 3.5 mm)</p><p>- 14 bottom layers (2.8 mm)</p><p>- 14 top layers (2.8 mm)</p><p>- Infill 15%~20%, depending on infill type</p><p><strong>For a stronger M16-02 joiner using PETG</strong></p><p><i>Note: PETG works better than PLA for this mechanical part</i></p><p>- Layer Height: .2 mm</p><p>- 10 perimeters or shells (4.5 ~ 5.0 mm)</p><p>- 16 bottom layers (3.2 mm)</p><p>- 16 top layers (3.2 mm)</p><p>- Infill 15%~20%, depending on infill type</p><p><strong>Assembly Instructions</strong></p><p>1- Insert and thread the M16-02 mm joiner fully into the handle.</p><p>2- Insert the handle assembly in the rake body.&nbsp;</p><p>3-Tighten until the handle is seated against the rake .</p><p>4- <strong>DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!</strong></p><p><i><strong>Optional: </strong>A small amount of glue suitable for the filament you are using, applied to the handle seating area of the rake will permanently join the parts.<strong>&nbsp;</strong></i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Thank you for viewing this object!</strong></p><p>If you like it, please click on the “like” button.
