Description

Created a 1/18 Tow Hook as there are none on the market, perfect for small chains and that scale crawler look. 

 

I experimented with different sizes, scaling from 100%, 95%, and 85% as seen in the picture. I figured 95% would be the best scale for my chain. If you are looking to scale smaller, I suggest reducing the layer height instead of the 0.16. I also suggest cleaning your build plate thoroughly to improve adhesion. 

 

Thanks for the support, feel free to comment and show pictures of your custom chain or your car!

It did not work for me, as it detached from the bed

Thanks for the feedback, I also had this problem but assumed it was my Elegoo PLA. Try doing 50% print speed. If this fails, print another larger scale print first and this one shortly after.

Thanks for the feedback, I have added a new profile with a Brim for better adhesion and I did it with 100% print speed, but feel free to try 50%. Please try it and let me know if this helps!

Thanks for the feedback and unfortunately its hard to get the 85% with 0.16 and 50% speed. You can try with smaller layer height maybe.
