<h3>If you've already downloaded it, please resize the cap to 10mmX10mmX14.29mm. If you haven't downloaded it already, I have uploaded the correct size. My Bad.</h3> <p>Remixed muzz64's Tire Valve Cap. I removed the MakerBot logo, added a dome top, reduced the size a little from 10.5mmX10.5mmX15mm to 10mmX10mmX14.3mm. The cap can fit a standard <a href="https://www.alltiresupply.com/products/replacement-o-rings-for-tpms-valve-caps?variant=16347426949">o-ring</a> if you're missing it, or you can try printing the one I whipped up.</p> <p>###<strong>Printing the Tire Valve Cap</strong></p> <p>I recommend printing the Tire Valve Cap at<strong>.1mm layer height</strong>, either<strong>2 shells at 100% infill</strong> with or<strong>4 shells</strong> which should make it solid. I've had no issues so far with<strong>PLA</strong>, but you may want to go with a sturdier material like<strong>ABS or PETG</strong>. I have completed a vacation driving 250+ miles both ways without issue. I was using the actual o-ring from the previous cap that had cracked.</p> <p>###<strong>Printing the O-Ring</strong></p> <p>I have not tested the O-Ring as thoroughly, but if you decide to print it I recommend printing the O-Ring in<strong>TPU/TPE at .1mm layer height with 2 shells at 100% infill</strong>. It's a little thicker than a normal one which should help with stems being pressed in and releasing air.</p> <p>When inserting the printed O-Ring into the cap, place it so that the first layer/bottom is facing outward as you place it in the cap. You can then either push it in using a pen or other small tool, or screw the cap on which should force the O-Ring into the cap.</p> Category: Automotive
