Up until now options of very low cost hoes was very limited. This hoe is very customizable, especially with the handle, which means it has the ability to fit any need you could possibly have. Best printed on an open-source metal 3d printer.

  2. Plastic for the print
  3. Screw

The link for the OpenScad files as well as the STL can be found here: [1]

Tools needed for fabrication of the OSAT
