    I'm thinking of a tiny project to waste more of my time for minimal gains. Anyone with a 3D printer care to help?

    So here's the deal:
    These little things IMG_1739.jpg IMG_1740.jpg pop out of the wheel center caps real easily (on my stock TRD OR wheels). I thought it'd be cool to make some custom emblems that you could stick in. I've made an .stl file of a simple clip-in piece that, once good fit is verified, can serve as the base for all other custom emblems.

    Anyone mind printing this out and checking the fit on their truck? Creo is telling me it is about 0.125 in3. I don't think I can upload an .stl file in the threads, but I can send it over email to those who want it. File is 5MB, not big at all. FYI I'm not trying to sell anything, not trying to retain any IP as far as this little project is concerned. If I can verify fit, I'll make some designs (starting with a TRD emblem), and upload them to ShapeWays and send out .stl files to those who want them.

    Close, but I don't want a sticker. I've seen some whole replacement caps, but not for less than 50 for a set.
