Sandbox Shovel

thingiverse

This is a simple sand shovel design for my daughter that prints easily without support and has no overhangs. I printed mine using an Ultimaker2 with 2 shells (0.8mm), 0.1mm layer thickness, and PLA material in 15% infill, which took about 13 hours to complete. A three-shell design could make it stronger, but the current model appears sturdy enough for a two-year-old. The Blender file is provided for customization, although you may want to shorten the scoop's height. Be cautious with leaving it in hot cars or using it for hard dirt, and be aware of its porosity based on your printer settings. Enjoy!
