Jeep Cherokee XJ Wheel Center Cap

<p>This is a remix of nonnux's 3D scanned design for the Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ Wheel Center Cap. <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2453570">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2453570</a></p> <p>I lost a wheel center cap for my 2001 Jeep Cherokee Classic XJ that has the 16" ICON wheels. nonnux's design, since it's a giant circle, can be resized to fit any wheel center cap. The internal designation code for my Jeep is XJ, so why not put that on the cap instead?</p> <p>For the 16" ICON wheels, I measured one of my original wheel center caps and it measures 50mm. I used Cura to resize the file to print the correct size. I set the file to print on the 45 degree to get the best surface finish and least post-processing on the face as well as use the least amount of supports. I used tree supports. Also because it's a good mix of having the horizontal layer lines run close to parallel with the "stress" this part might encounter.</p> <p>I printed my initial file out of PLA for testing the fit, but will print the final versions out of PETG to have better heat resistance.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Ender 3 Pro</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.2mm</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>50</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Sunlu PLA/PETG Grey</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>I printed these with 4 wall lines, on the 45, with a brim. I chose a brim just to get the whole part off the print bed to minimize post-processing.</p> Since I plan on using filler and paint, I could get away with printing at 0.28mm layer heights, but I chose to print at 0.2mm. </div></p></p></p> Category: Automotive
