After the store bought
scoop had its handle break off recently, I decided it was time
to have our cat litter scoop enter the 21st century and designed
a new one. The design only took 20 minutes and printed out with
a nice red PLA in 6 hours. The handle was a one inch wooden dowel
which I spray painted silver and is strong and durable. It works
great and was put to use immediately!

to work well. |

handle attaches. |
