Landscape Stone Scoop (Dog Poop Scoop)
Description
Landscape Stone Scoop (or Dog Poop) My home is surrounded by a 3-to-4-foot landscape border where stones are used as mulch. The stones constantly fall back onto the walkway and driveway which looks sloppy. Being an old guy with arthritis, it is difficult for me to constantly bending over and putting them back in place. I tried a hoe, but it was metal and scraped the sidewalk and stones would slip out the side. I took goliath182’s hoe design, resized it and put sides all around it and made a stone scoop. You can also use this for dog poop. I have been using mine made of PLA for a few years now and it started to wear because it scrapes along cement all the time. So, I made this version a little studier and thicker walls. I got a handle for it at the Dollar Store (Dollar Tree) and used a self-tapping screw to hold the handle in place. This works great for me. I made two sizes. You can also resize it in your slicer, to make it smaller, but then the hole for the handle will be too small. If you print it with a stronger material, it will hold up better, but not necessary as you can just make a new one every few years if it fails. I used an 8 nozzle for faster printing and 100% infill for strength. No rafts or support needed. I used PLA+
