John Deere/Kubota Mower Fuel Cap
Print Profile(1)

Description
Thanks to modifications to the original by the neighborhood squirrels, this is a replacement for a gas cap for a John Deere Zero turn mower. This was created for a Z445, which should fit most of the Z family and some of the lawn/garden tractors. I have not test fit it to others, but this is a pretty standard cap. Update - This also fits some Kubota zero turns, likely all the caps of this generation are the same thread/size.
Cap is not vented, OE equipment came with a vent or without depending on the year with the same engine, so I suspect there will be enough air leakage past the threads that this won't be an issue. OE recess for a rubber gasket is built in should you desire one, or want to print one with TPU.
Included file is for a X1C using Inland PA612-CF filament. PA612 does not like overhangs at all, and I slowed the overhang speed to 10mm/sec, and 30-40mm/sec for the other speeds in order to get the threads to not string. 50C bed temp, 290C nozzle, 0.6 nozzle with 0.2 layer height was successful for me, but YMMV.
PA612-CF was chosen for its fuel resistance, I think this could be printed with PETG with similar results, but I wouldn't recommend PLA or ABS due to the occasional contact with gasoline.
