Reservoir cap for bleeding brakes.

prusaprinters

<p>Useful for pressurizing the fluid reservoir, makes bleeding or a complete brake fluid flush a breeze.</p><p>Main threads should fit most European brands (at least the internet thinks so) but I have tried it successfully with several Volvo's of different vintages.</p><p>I printed mine in PLA for strength, layer adhesion and ease of getting the quite steep overhangs good. Time will tell if brake fluid degrades it. Also I printed it almost solid.</p><p>You will need an air hose fitting with a BSP (G) ¼" thread and a rubber gasket. You can make one from gasket material or take one from an old reservoir cap.</p><p>When using, make sure to turn the regulator down sufficiently, I don't think the reservoirs are made to take a lot of pressure, 1 to 2 atm relative pressure should be plenty.</p>
