    Default 3D Printing

    Has anyone ever used a 3D printer to make a center cap for a 20" R/T replica wheel?

    If you find a good model, I can get it printed cheap

    3D printing isn't quite the same as injection molding. Every 3d print I've seen has been 'grainy'. In that you can see how the part was formed with melted plastic oozing from a hot tip.

    A 3d printed replacement cap would need to be printed oversize and then sanded smooth.
