Description
Show your love of 3D printing to the towing world and keep your tow hitch / tow ball in tip top condition. Useful replacement when your real boat is not hitched up.
No supports needed but recommend a brim as I had a couple of issues with bed adhesion mid-print.
Two sizes to suit either: 2" (50mm) diameter OR 1+7/8" (47.625mm) diameter ball. Stl files have either 2 or 178 in filename.
Note: I have only tried the fit on a 1+7/8" because that's the only tow ball I have. If someone can try out the 2", I'd be grateful if you let me know if it fits or how much to scale it by to get a nice fit.
