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! 

 

Application

Works with both Shrader and Presta Valves. Both are located in the single profile, just choose the build plate you need ! 

 

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. 

 

Note* you may need to clean up some of the overhang material inside of the cap, some users have seen enough material hang down to press the actual valve when screwing on completely and letting out air.
