If you enjoy my 3dmodels then please consider buying me a cup of coffee at my Paypal tip page: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=ZRLFSSPLF5S4Y This is the gaiter finisher that goes with RobH-J's Triumph GT6 Gear-lever Gaiter Ferrule Insert 618945 619812 found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4270590 You can print it on FDM, but a more attractive result will be obtained with UV resin printing and following up with a couple coats of Rustoleum's Bright Coat Metallic finish. Use an "ABS Like" resin that won't be brittle. I modeled the exterior in OpenSCAD by looking at photographs. I then subtracted RobH-J's model from the center and then made further refinements to provide clearance for the gaiter. I then scaled it up by 3% to provide reasonable thread clearance. This part might be a good candidate to attempt plastic electroplating on. But I must say you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between the Rustoleum Brite Mettalic and polished aluminum. It is quite stisfactory.
