If you are one of the many many people who are selling my model without my permission, you now have the ability sell it legitimately by purchasing a one time license. 

*** UPDATE 06/20/24 - [v3] Supports Version***

If you are having issues with the tab breaking off or not connecting during printing, please try the “Supports Version”. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND modifying the profile to use supports setting that you are comfortable with and know work for you.

My buddy asked me to design him a tiny trailer hitch as a gag gift. You know what they say, the bigger the truck, the smaller the trailer hitch!

I uploaded two different size hitches (Tiny & Micro) for both 2in (51.2mm) & 2.5in (63.9mm) receivers. (* I added a 1.25" version, but it's still in the testing phase. If you try it, please let me know what changes need to be made*) I also uploaded a version if you would like to use an existing pin.

In my area, 2 inch receivers seem to be the most common, but it's best to measure which size you need before printing. See below image.  

Locks into place with a latch tab button, so it can be easily installed and removed.

The pin version and all other 3mf files can be found in the “Raw Model Files”:

I highly recommend you Superglue the ball to the hitch (you have no choice for the micro version), because it may come loose over time.

Recommended:

• Use a filament that is suitable for outdoor use, such as ASA (I'm using PETG but not sure how prolonged outdoor use will affect it)
• Minimum of 4 wall loops
• 15% Infill
• Superglue ball to hitch

!! IMPORTANT !!:

CLEAN YOUR PRINT BED BEFORE PRINTING. Yes, I'm sure you think it is clean enough because you just cleaned it a few weeks ago, but it probably isn't. The latch tab requires really good adhesion while printing. If you are having issues where the tab is breaking off while printing, try cleaning the bed to see if it helps. This may not be the reason why the print is failing, but it's a good start. 

If you need a different size receiver or latch button, please let me know, I will gladly make the appropriate changes and upload them for you!

Disclaimer:

This trailer hitch is a NOVELTY ITEM!!! It is not designed to actually work, so please don't give me a crappy rating because you were not able to hook up your trailer to it.
