Kitty litter "pooper scooper" (bigger and better)

This Thing is more or less mistertech's litter scoop, but about 25% bigger, with thicker bottom/sides/back, with holes added to the back and sides, making it similar to the last commercial scoop I used.

Cheap litter tends to get pasty when wet (in addition to clumping), which clogs the holes, so bigger holes should clog less. Summer humidity in my region makes that problem worse.

Holes in the sides and back help the dry/unused litter sift out easier (particularly when dealing with large, pasty clumps).

The handle is extended by 40 mm relative to the original file,and has been rotated so that the two pieces fit comfortably on a normal 200x200 mm bed.

This remix started out as a simple upscaling of mistertech's model, with holes added. Turned out I had to redraw most of it from scratch to get it right at the larger size, though I tried to keep the original shape and general profile, and I kept most of the original threaded post into which the handle is attached.

2019-09-01: Mine broke after some use, so I've strengthened and re-printed it. Sides are about 1 mm thicker now, bottom and back are about 2 mm thicker. Also, "sharpened" the scoop's leading edge, and reworked the contour on the handle mount, for appearance sake. The handle is unchanged.
