Description
Sometimes you just need a shovel. And now you can print one.
This shovel comes in four different sizes. Sizes M and S are for printers with 180mm height, for L and XL you need a 250mm printer.
Print preparation:
Make sure that your print bed is clean and grease-free and use a quality brand and dry filament.
Print settings:
The easiest way to print this shovel is using the spiral vase mode and a line thickness of 0.9mm for outer walls. Yes, this will work with a 0.4mm standard nozzle, you do not need a larger one.
For the layer height I recommend 0.2mm. Reduce the speed setting for the outer wall to 150 mm/s, this will give you a nice and robust result. See my print profile (Orca or Bambu) for more details.
That's it - keep on shovelling.
