Want

 

lol V2 is printing today well see if I got it right this time. I was a hair too big on that inner diameter lip, and I also didnt notice that the reason the cap has that indicator is because two of the tabs are smaller so I fixed that and added a small nub to indicate the top. Made the whole thing 0.5" shorter overall too since it seemed like I went way overkill.

 

The longer cap is for the longer base on the Morimoto?

 

Yeah, apparently they stick out just enough so that the stock cap doesn't fit. I wont have them until Monday though to know for sure. Either way a fun CAD exercise for me lol.

 

Alright well I got my model where I want it, for ABS I had to undersize everything a little bit since it doesn't shrink as much as PLA. I also am playing with the process settings in simplify 3D to do full infill for the lock collar and layers above since its too easy to break off currently. Yes I plugged my website, mind you its hidden inside and this is free so, sorry not sorry =P

Current Settings are:

3D Solutech Navy Blue Filament (1.75mm)
Bed: 110C
Extruder 230C
Layers 0-42mm Infill 15%
Layers 42mm-up Infill 100%
Supports ON

Have Fun!!

 

Well fun exercise it was, the stock canyon covers work fine with the morimotos. Guess its just the colorados that have issues.

 

Hi guys, so in anticipation of the sweet deal I got on some morimoto LEDs for my truck, from our very own classifieds, I wanted to print some nicer dust caps.

I saw a few colorado STLs online (there was a thread on here too) but those have 5 tabs/the dimensions were not accurate, but the canyon only has 4. There might exsist a cap like this you can buy on ebay but this was faster for me. The first print came out great but the model needs a few tweaks, once I print something that actually fits Ill post up the STL for you guys.

I'm printing in PLA for now but for the final parts I think ABS + an acetone vapor bath to seal/smooth the part would be best for this application.

So where can I find your 3D print file, the link at the bottom of the post it broken. Thank you in advance!
