3-Prong Garden Rake
Description
This is a small hand rake that my Dad wanted for his small strawberry garden. He had one that was just too big for the area he had planted.
I thought tlalexander's design was great, so I used it for reference. I dont have solidworks, but designed this one in Autodesk Inventor.
It has a t-handle and hole in the T-handle to hang from a peg board on a nail. The T-handle was a request from my Dad to make it easy to dangle. The Center Prong is slightly longer to help dig just a little more of a trench.
My 9-year old first saw this and thought it was a small back scratcher for him. I guess you could also use it for that, but it might not reach very far. I guess his request is on my list now.
As intended, it has worked perfectly for a small garden area.
Autodesk Inventor source file is also attached.

Also I realized I never uploaded a STEP or IGES file of my design! I've added them now. You should be able to import those and see how they compare to your design a bit better than with just the STL file!

Glad you liked my idea! I definitely need to strengthen the prongs on mine, and the pegboard hole is a good idea! I've never actually used mine in the garden, it was just a concept I was playing with. Can't wait to see a print of yours!

Thanks for the source. Nice to see it that way too.
I used both and they do surprisingly well in the dirt. Plus whenever it wears down, I'll just print another! It was nice to see they are actually usable. 3D Printing is awesome!
