Jeep Hitch Cover

thingiverse

I love the hitch design by fwillburn, but I was frustrated that it didn't properly secure the hitch mount. This remix includes a 5mm wall after the logo closes, completely covering the hitch mount. The drawback of this design is that printing in one color will fade out the logo. Therefore, I recommend printing in two colors to maintain its visibility. The logo ends exactly at 10mm, and the wall begins right there. So you can easily switch filaments at 10 mm as shown in my pictures. The design incorporates the square of the hitch mount embedded into the logo, so swapping out the color at the end of the logo print causes the square to be printed in the same color. It's not a major issue but it's not perfect (see my pictures). An alternative is to print 5mm then switch filaments. That way, the back of the logo will match the hitch mount. I created a 3D printable hitch pin to attach the Jeep Hitch Cover to the vehicle.
