Tire Valve Caps - Car / Bike Accessory

thingiverse

Quick and easy printing in your choice of color to accessorize your car or bike.... Print a set in "Glow-in-the-Dark" filament for a very cool effect at night. With a well-set-up 3D printer, this will print very fine thread (0.75mm pitch) so you can screw them straight on in place of existing valve caps. This is a fantastic example of the fine detail that can be printed as the thread is clearly visible. Refer to the instructions for printing details... This must be printed at high resolution (0.1mm) to create a clean thread. The file includes a MakerBot M logo so MakerBot owners, in particular, will appreciate this print that demonstrates the accuracy that can be achieved by looking at the thread. If you like this, take time to check out my other designs! Instructions Follow these instructions carefully to ensure you get a good clean thread as it is "very" fine but works great when printed on a well-set-up machine capable of accurate prints. On a Replicator 2, this prints well as follows... Raft: On. Resolution: 0.1mm / High. Support: Off. Shells: 4. Infill: 50% (or more). If you want to change the color of the MakerBot M logo, as in the images, Z-pause the machine at 13.0mm through the print on a Replicator 2 with Raft On... That is approx. 1.0mm thick. On machines without a Z-pause feature, you will need to pause it or change filament as soon as you see the M logo starting to print.
