Another #FreeCADFriday and also spring is here to stay! 🌷
Take a moment to check your bike after winter season. If you need a new valve cap, I got you covered!
Please post replies with photos! I would like to see what color you chose! ✨

@tinx Oooh, interesting! What filament are you using? Does PLA work correctly, or would a more compliant one like PETG work better?

@tinx Now I *have* valve caps, but those are much cuter! Awesome work. /Jo

@tinx @freecad Nicely done! But you do need a small extruder nozzle for a small thread like this to be printed properly, don't you?

@tinx @freecad did you use the standard tool in FreeCAD to generate threaded holes or did you design the thread yourself?

@tinx @freecad Ooh, I needed that ! Thanks. I printed a small batch in PHA :D (so that if one is lost it will leave no micro-plastics in the end)
