A small hand shovel/trowel for gardening. I got tired of bending or breaking store-bought garden hand shovels, so this one can be as designed as beefy as desired.
I recommend printing the handle separately (using the "split" version of the STL file) and glue or press-fit to attach. (In the STL files, the handle sizes are already scaled down to 99% of the attachment hole size, which for me yielded a tight press-fit with no glue needed.) Also file around the inside of the hole slightly if there's a rim of filament impeding insertion of the handle.
A nail hole is provided for wall-mounting.
V2 is a little longer & narrower profile (note that the V2 handle attachment is slightly smaller diameter than the original to accommodate the narrower blade).
SCAD file included for your customizing pleasure using OpenSCAD.
UPDATE 2/8/22: Added STL for a version with a ruler. (This one will of course need to be printed at 100% scale for the measurements to be correct.) Also increased the size of the attachment point a bit for improved strength. Scaled the handle (of the ruler version) to 98% of the hole size for an easier fit (but glue might be needed if it's too loose).
