It can also be scaled up easily into a normal shovel. This fulfills a need where people need a shovel or don't have normal access to the materials. People can also can use this if they feel that normal shoves aren't efficient enough. The design of the shovel is to be very wide to improve scoping efficiency.\n\n== Bill of Materials ==\n\n* [[File:Handle.stl]]\n* [[File:Shovel.stl]]\n* [[File:Shovel.scad]]\n\nOptionally, get the files from thingiverse.\n[https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:577651 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:577651]\n\n== Tools needed ==\n\n# [[Delta Build Overview:MOST|MOST Delta RepRap]] or similar RepRap 3-D printer\n# A 2 part epoxy or other adhesive\n\n== Technical Specifications and Assembly Instructions ==\n\nPrint at least one shovel and one handle.\nHandles fit together.\nIt is recommended to print 2 handles to allow for a nice grip room.\n\nThe shovel can take 5+ hours to print.\nEach handle can take 1+ hour to print.\n\n==== Assembly ====\n\nExpect assembly to take 1-2 hours depending on your adhesive.\n\n# Step 1 - Remove any extra plastic from the printed holes.\n# Step 2 - Glue pieces together\n# Step 3 - Use your shovel\n\n=== Common Problems and Solutions ===\n\n* One common problem is making is inset hole to small for the handle. Make sure that you make the inset hole at least 1 mm bigger.\n\n== Cost savings ==\n\n# Total build cost with 2 handles - $3.80\n# [https://www.amazon.com/Fiskars-79786931J-Composite-Trowel-79786931J0/dp/B0002YVDSW/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1417703076&sr=8-5&keywords=hand+shovel http://www.amazon.com/Fiskars-79786931J-Composite-Trowel-79786931J0/dp/B0002YVDSW/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1417703076&sr=8-5&keywords=hand+shovel]\n# $4.68 - $3.80 = $0.88\n\n== References ==\n\n<references />\n\n{{Page data\n| keywords = 3D printing, gardening, hand tools, osat, shovel, plastic\n| sdg = SDG08 Decent work and economic growth\n| published = 2014\n| organizations = Michigan_Tech's_Open_Sustainability_Technology_Lab, MY4777, MTU\n| license = CC-BY-SA-3.0\n| language = en\n}}\n\n[[Category:Agriculture]]\n[[Category:3D printing]]\n[[Category:OSAT 3D-Printable Designs]]\n[[Category:Gardening]]\n[[Category:Plastic]]"}
