Darth Vader Tire Valve Stem Cap

thingiverse

My nephew got a sweet new bike for his birthday and that meant I had to get creative with some cool accessories for his almost all black mountain bike. I'm pretty sure it's equipped with a Schrader valve, which is standard fare for most bikes. To make the perfect fit, I cranked up the file in my slicer to 105%, and it looked like that was going to work out just fine. I took some inspiration from the Lego Storm Trooper cap but decided to go with a dark side theme instead since I had black PLA filament loaded and ready to roll. As luck would have it, I didn't discover until after I'd already remixed and printed my file that there's actually a Darth Vader cap on Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1008313) - would've been way easier just to use that one! Still, I'm glad I ended up doing it myself, even if it was a bit more work than necessary.
