A modified version of one of hanselcj's cool rotor maintenance tools; the grass cleaner. This one requires no cordless drill, and instead uses a handle for you to rotate it to dig up any grass threatening to grow over the rotor + mud buildup preventing access etc.

Printed in PLA, it's strong enough, you could use ABS or anything really. The handle does feel a tiny bit uncomfortable, but hexagon designs are far more print friendly as they require no supports. Wear gardening gloves, so it's not an issue.

OpenSCAD file included, but it requires you to reference the STL from hanselcj's set, as it modifies the port from drill-friendly to hex shape for the handle, and trims the external teeth overhangs to a safer configuration for printing (you don't want an overhang to fail at the 90% mark - I'm sure it would have been ok, but I didn't want to print it twice, and for handheld use, the teeth need not be so swole)

Tested on Hunter PGA Rotors, but likely fits many others too as the sizing is quite generous.
