Nissan Sentra wheel center cap

thingiverse

I made these custom wheel spacers to fit my 16-inch original Sentra wheels after realizing one was missing on my 2011 vehicle. Threaded inserts are easy to swap out, allowing you to match your mood. The BASE features two small notches that aid in unscrewing an insert, making it a breeze to change them out without having to remove the tire. You can even stick your fingers inside the empty BASE to pull it out, eliminating the need for tire removal. The Right and Left sides of the car are labeled R and L respectively, with the Right side pieces being reverse threaded. A blank INSERT is included, allowing you to create your own unique design - think Starfleet, Klingon Empire, Punisher, Superman, and more. This project was inspired by various designs found on Thingiverse, including https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1655036 for the BASE, which I remade from scratch to fit my needs. The THREADS were taken from "Wall-mount scissor lamp" at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2928393 and scaled up to fit my requirements. The LOGO came from "Nissan keychain" at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2113935, while the BATMAN emblem was sourced from "1989 Batman Emblem" at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1423159. The SKULL design originated from my "Skull rope pull knob" at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3115013, which itself came from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1131743 and then was remixed again from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:441087 (a remix twice removed). I created the SMILEY myself. Print settings include 0.2mm layers, with the BASE requiring support from the build plate and all INSERTs needing support as well. The SKULL INSERT requires extra support everywhere to ensure a solid print. These spacers were printed in PLA, but ABS or PETG may be better options.
