Description

I needed a new trowel for a long hike, but unfortunately my local outfitter only had expensive trowels in stock. I designed this with hiking/backpacking in mind-- the trowel is lightweight, comfortable to use digging small holes, and can be used as an anchor for light loads (stick the pointy end in the ground, use the hole at top to tie).

Features

  • Weighs only 32 g using recommended settings
  • Prints in ~1 hour
  • Serrated teeth for better digging
  • Can be used a light-duty anchor
  • Smooth design to avoid snagging
  • Integrated clip/tie hole
  • Extremely forgiving to print

Recommended Settings

  • Layer Height: 0.20mm 
  • Walls: 3
  • Infill: 15% using high-strength infill (e.g. gyroid)
  • Material: PETG, ABS, PLA in a pinch
  • Supports: No
  • Change Orientation: No
  • Brim: No
