Description
So the ball hitch on my car was slowly getting rusty and I needed something to protect it from the weather. And since I am a proud owner of a Prusa 3D printer, no ordinary cap was acceptable :-)
Since I'm a fan of the Futurama series and Bender is great character, there was not other option acceptable.
Little bit of OpenScad modelling and here we are. I proudly present you Bender the Hitch Cover.
The model is parametrized, so feel free to modify to fit your needs.
I printed in both PLA and PETG, but I feel PETG will be a better option for outdoor application.
I have printed it with supports under the eyes mouth section. Support blockator to prevent the supports from the inside (no need I guess, printed just fine). Seam set from back. See the prusa slicer project file.
