Litter Scoop V3 mod (SCAD)
Description
The original model from #2804284 is remarkably good. It's better than any plastic scoop I've ever had in terms of its strength, capacity, and its fitness for purpose. It can sift without grinding the clumps or creating tons of poop dust. It's stout enough to actually scrape up a stuck clump without behaving like a springy turd catapult. The handle and edge geometry are good for deep litter boxes and for ease of printing. For the $2 it cost to print, I challenge anyone to find a scoop that's at least half as good. That said, I'm not using pellet litter, but coarse bentonite. I'd been using a piece of scrap 1/2" hardware cloth, which was a bit too open (and flimsy). While #2804284 had much more sensible hole sizes, I still felt they could be a bit smaller for the litter I'm using. The original has 8mm x 18mm holes. Included are two additional STLs: one with 8mm x 15mm holes and one with 8mm x 11mm holes. Since it's SCAD, they can be adjusted if you want something else , but I didn't bother to make the holes adjustable but in one dimension. I printed in PLA, 3 shells, 20% gyroid infill.
