This is a recreation my childhood's favourite shovel.
Small, for fitting small hands, as well as letting bigger hands do fine details.
Sharp corners, good for detailed work on sandcastles or ping pong ball runs.
Slim sides for maximal control
A slight angle between blade and handle for top-notch ergonomics.
The model file is more than a bit crude, but we were heading for the beach!
I like the blade to be perfectly smooth, so I prefer to orient the model so that the blade is horisontal. This requires the handle to be supported.
I printed it with PLA supports on my XL because I could, but it will also fit on the MINI if rotated 45 degrees.
Use PrusaSlicer to emboss your toddler's name, or a nice SVG, to make the ultimate shovel!
