3D Printed Gas Cap Holder

Yes. I am testing my prototype now. It's a direct bolt in, and sits inside the gas door. Here's a preview

 

What 3D printer do you use?

 

If'n you need any testers...

 

OP or me?
OP's looks like a Rostock Max. I use a HP Jet fusion 4200

 

Yep. Rostock Max V2. Been going strong for over 2 years now.

 

Post it on thingiverse so other 3d printer users can get access to it. Are you using Nylon, PLA, ABS or some other material. Would be interested to,try it on my Monoprce Ultimate.

 

I want one for my Stanley gas cap!

 

Thanks for the idea. I'll do that. I used PLA on this one because it was what was spooled up. However, if you live in Arizona or similar areas where it gets over 100 degrees, I'd use ABS.

 

This works on 2nd Gen too, is what I do

 

PLA will not hold up under the heat at all. ABS is good as would be nylon. Sounds like you are on the right road.

 

Thats awesome! I always wondered why there wasn't a holder for the gas cap.

 

Willing to share the cad file?

 

Pretty sure that little kink in the tether is for hanging on the door clip. That’s what I use instead of hanging it.

 

Lol the older we get the more stuff like that just hangs.

I also use the teather to hang the cap on the latch part. I don’t slide it in the clip just hang it over it.

Cool idea and congrats on making it!

 

It's in the 1st post.
