The model is split into three printable parts to improve printability, reduce warping, and make replacements easy:
Included Parts
- Center Base ×1
Main structural section of the leveller. - Shaft Mount ×1
Attaches a standard shaft/rod/handle 28-30mm to the tool. - Side Wings ×2
Extends the levelling width while keeping prints manageable.
Once assembled, the tool creates a wide and stable levelling surface ideal for:
- spreading top soil
- smoothing uneven lawns
- distributing sand
- evening out fresh grass seed areas
- preparing garden surfaces
Design Goals
- Easy to print on standard printers
- Modular and replaceable parts
- Strong structure with minimal support requirements
