The intake hood is a 3D printed part. It has skis on both sides to prevent the device from digging too deep.
The tube is a 6 inch PVC pipe with numerous holes drilled in the bottom third. The wheels with built-in ball bearings attach to the tube via two pipe clamps.
The screw inside the tube and the motor comes from a 6 inch electric auger.
