Xiaomi M365 tire valve adapter

prusaprinters

<p>This adapter adds bulk to the screwcap of the pump extension supplied with the Xiaomi Mijia M365. &nbsp;The extra purchase allows you to twist it on and off more easily, keeping more air in the tire when disconnecting.</p><p><i>DESIGNED TO BE PRINTED in TPE/TPU</i>, as the inner diameter of the STL (9mm) is smaller than that of the metal connector (10mm). It is a press fit. You may try with rigid materials, however, scaled up to 110% or more.</p><p>The technique is to cup your hand beneath like shown in the picture, apply pressure upwards against the adapter and pull your hand away in one fast motion in order to maximize its utility. Best if you start unscrewing from the point just before you hear air escaping. You could probably also use a string or flexible strip of material if it's still too small for your grip, kind of the way you start a lawn mower. If I went with a radius any bigger I reasoned that it would still take about the same time as fussing without the adapter. &nbsp;I made a silly video that documents the frustration that led to this invention, along with some other tips for printing &amp; use (subtitles available).</p><p>For your safety, please also review if your scooter is part of the M365 recall starting June 2019: <a href="https://www.mi.com/global/support/mi-electric-scooter-recall-program/">https://www.mi.com/global/support/mi-electric-scooter-recall-program/</a></p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/j6CTLtuodLg"></oembed></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>0.1 - 0.2 layer height recommended.</p><p>Verify in your slicer that you have your wall settings adjusted so that it will create at least 3 full walls (0.4 nozzle) around the opening.</p>
