Custom Valve Stem Caps:

Fire Hydrant! 

 

The Model 

Thank you for visiting and checking out my Valve Stem Cap collection! Over the last couple of weeks I have kept myself busy making a variety of different valve stem caps (almost 60 different ones to be exact!) as I took inspiration from some really random every-day objects I encountered throughout my daily routine! 

 

Some of these are very simple, quick to print models, while others (like Super Mario and the Nike Shoes in full color) take quite a bit of time and filament to print. I realize that these longer prints are quite a commitment and not likely to be printed a whole bunch, but I enjoyed the challenge to creating and coloring these and watching them complete overnight. 

The multi-color prints make quite a bit of printer poop… so if you have found some sort of use for it, this is a great time to exercise it! 

 

 

Filament

One word of caution on the choice of filament.. yes, PLA is an obvious choice for cost and color availability, just pleased keep in mind that PLA is not the best choice for outdoor application due to its inability to withstand heat and UV long term. Don’t be surprised if you have deformed/miscolored caps after a good summer day of heat and sun. A lot of these are easy enough to reprint if you want to stick with PLA, otherwise, entertain the option of using something more outdoor friendly, like PETG.

Thank You!!! My daughter loved the Grinch for her Jeep and my almost-son-in-law likes the fire hydrant (as a firefighter).

none of these have threaded holes to screw on to the stem. Why?

are you using the Bambu slicer ? you need to slice the model after opening the 3mf file to have the negative thread file be applied.

when I put them on my tires they went flat because they had filament inside them.
