Turn your spent brass into custom automotive accessories. This precision-engineered insert presses into a standard 9mm Luger shell casing, allowing it to screw onto any standard Schrader valve stem (cars, trucks, motorcycles, and bicycles).
Designed with a focus on functional product design and a minimalist aesthetic, these inserts provide a secure, threaded fit.
Design Features
- Precision Fit: Optimized for the internal diameter of standard 9mm brass casings.
- Schrader Compatibility: Deep, clean internal threads ensure a smooth fit on all standard tire valves.
- Minimalist Profile: The insert remains hidden once installed, maintaining the authentic look of the brass.
Print Settings
For the best results and functional durability, use the following profile:
- Material: PETG or ABS (recommended for UV and heat resistance on wheels).
- Nozzle: 0.4mm or 0.2mm for maximum thread clarity.
- Orientation: Print with the wide "base" facing down on the build plate.
Assembly Instructions
- Prep the Brass: Ensure your spent 9mm casings are clean and the interior is free of carbon buildup.
- Insert: Align the 3D-printed part with the open end of the casing.
- Add optional glue (CA Glue is best)
- Press: Firmly press the insert into the shell. If the fit is too tight, a small drop of CA glue can be used, though the taper is designed for a friction fit.
- Install: Screw your new custom caps onto your vehicle!
