3D model description

Background:
I wanted to have a scale looking, easy to print shovel with realistic mounts for my 1/8th 3d printed RCs from www.3dsets.com

There are of course some out there, but I wanted to practice my 3d modelling and needed a small challenge ;)

The Model:
- Modeled in 1/8th scale after a 80cm shovel - without resizing the standard shovel is 10cm long
- There is a version which is 15mm longer.
- I have also added a 3-piece model with a slightly angled shovel.
- Mounted to the car with M2 screws (I've used M2x6)

Assembly
The handle and shovel should be a snug fit, but I recommend to glue it Check the orientation of the handle/shovel when putting it on the shaft as it only fits in one orientation.
Attention: the separate shovel is a little bit delicate as the hole has some overhangs where you might have to do some slight filing/trimming if the shaft won't fit. Don't force it as you might break it.

3D printing settings

No supports needed.
Straps need to be printed in TPU!
mounts and the handle might need a small brim for better bed adhesion.
