Transformers Hitch Cover with Tabs

thingiverse

I modified the Decepticon 2 and Autobot 2 Trailer Hitch Covers by Djkirkendall to incorporate spring tabs. This design update is specifically tailored for a 2-inch hitch receiver. S3D Users: A common issue arises when printing these covers, causing a gap between the back of the faceplate and the hitch cover. This gap can lead to a print failure due to the large area that needs to be bridged. To resolve this issue, navigate to the Mesh menu and select Separate Connected Surfaces. After doing so, reslice the design and it should successfully print. Update: I've thinned and elongated the tabs on these covers, making them less likely to break off during printing.
