Car Tyre/Tire Valve Cap with Pressure Reminder
Print Profile(2)


Description
Do you struggle to remember what your car tyre/tire pressures are meant to be? Do you have difficulty remembering where the sticker is on your car to see what the pressures should be? Are you fed up with having to find the right page of the owner's manual to find the pressures? Why not have the intended pressures right there on the top of the valve caps? This model includes pre-labelled valve caps for pressures from 28 to 45 pounds per square feet, which should cover most ‘normal’ cars. Let me know in the comments if you need higher or lower pressures and I will update the files. Simply copy the valve caps with the right pressure onto an empty plate and then set them to print - the print will pause once the main body of the valve has been printed to change the colour of the filament for the ring and numbers - choose a colour to stand out and be easy to read, or to match your vehicle. The layer height is set to the minimum value to avoid problems with printing the threads on the inside of the valve cap - you might get away with large layer height, but I haven't tried that. I've printed these in PETG, but if you can print in ASA, that would be even better for UV resistance.
Update: Added extra plate with pause set between colours - copy the valves you want to that plate and then print.
Further Update: Added Valve Covers with numbers in ‘bar’ as well as those in ‘psi’.
