Salt / Ice Melt Spreader

thingiverse

So after my son salted the driveway using a cup, he used half a bag, leaving huge piles of salt on the sidewalk. After buying another bag of salt/Ice Melt, I came up with a couple designs and ended up with this. The can is the storage container with handle and slotted opening for either the lid or a series of different sized "filters" to help evenly spread your ice melt. There are different sizes because I have had different sized pellets from different bags. I made these thin so you're not wasting filament. The can took me 4 hours to print, and the filter/caps take about 22 minutes on my current setup. It works great! I added a loop to tie the filter and caps together for a cord to keep them all organized. The whole thing was made to fit my gloved hands and printer, but you could easily scale it up to fit your needs. HAPPY DEICING!!!
