17mm Alloy Wheel Bolt Caps

thingiverse

Safety alloy wheel bolt caps to deter theft of your alloy wheels. Suitable for any 17mm hex head alloy wheels bolts, usually found on M12 bolts. I had tried some caps from ebay, but found that they were difficult to remove with the tool they came with, but a printed tool would be too fragile to work. The caps cover the bolts in the same was as the ones some manufacturers provide, but I have designed them to be used with a special key tool that allows you to remove the caps easily without risking scratching the alloy wheels. I designed these to be printed with a 0.8mm nozzle to allow for speedy printing, but will work fine with other nozzle sizes. Feel free to give any feedback or ideas for development!
