Convert EGO Trimmer into an Edger

May work with other trimmers with a 25 mm pole.
Designed to use with this caster from home depot: Sku#: 03900349813

Props to Jim Nan: Thingiverse user: http://www.thingiverse.com/CustodialArtist/about for idea and collaboration on this project. We may collaborate on an extra shroud while edging, but we have to overcome easy on/off issue.

Hex indention fits 10 mm nut/bolt. Hole designed at 11 mm, but low res print lowers tolerance. Tight fit, so nuts should need to be pressed into socket with vice or channel locks. Use waste plastic (or something) on the other side of the part so it doesn't get damaged in the squeeze.

Caster height is adjustable. You will need to drill one hole in the elbow, to attach the elbow to the collar. This will set the alignment between the caster and the trimmer head. I was thinking about a sideways slot to make this adjustable too, but may just dremel it out if needed.
