Wheel Cap (any Logo) Generator

thingiverse

If found Thor3D's wheel cap Generator, but I wanted a manufacturer logo and a rounded edge. Now you can add any logo with minimum of effort. Download or create logo (as STL file) and place it in the same folder as this OpenScad file Adjust the Cap Parameters so the cap will fit your wheel. Change the file name for the logo STL file and perform a quick render. Adjust the X and Y offsets so the that logo is centred, re-quick render after each adjustment to check progress. The offsets will depend on where the origin in the STL file is. Adjust the scaling until the logo fills the cap, and is raised by the desired amount. Quick render after each adjustment to check progress. Full render and save as STL file. I have included a couple of images of caps created with logos found here on thingiverse. I haven't tried printing yet as I am waiting for the filament to arrive. Print Settings Printer: BQ Hephestos I3 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 25% Notes: I haven't printed one yet, but.... Print with logo up. Support will be required. Depending on the detail in the logo used 0.1 layer height may be better! I would have at least 3 top layers.
