Description

Designed these trim rings to keep the sprinkler heads from getting grown over which led to making the auger/cutter to remove some of the soil.

I printed with 5 walls in PETG so it will be strong enough to cut through grass roots, although it did wear down after about 15-20 holes in fairly tough soil. The augers are threaded to fit a drill chuck adapter I found on Amazon. uxcell Drill Chuck Adapter 3/8-24UNF Thread Keyless Drill Chuck Adapter Hex Shank for Impact Driver 3pcs - Amazon.com

It's a very tight fit to prevent it from coming loose.

The centering jig was designed after my first time using it to help get the auger centered on the sprinkler head more accurately.

unfortunately it doesn't work in the long run, more and more dirt accumulates and then it can't get out anymore the mushroom shape with a 10cm ring works better

Thanks for looking at my design and the comment, I just started using them, so guess I'll find out. Which one are you referring to, I'd like to look at it. Thanks

Replying to @user_540147282 :

I think it can best be described as a dam for me. After watering, some water always runs back towards the sprinkler. This washes away some soil that collects between the printed ring and the sprinkler. It then takes a day or two, and it clogs, and the sprinklers no longer pop back into the ground. However, I think it might also be due to the fine soil in my case, it might not be the same with mulch or topsoil.
