3D printed rallye wheel center caps

[slantfish]

I only have 2 center caps and thought 'why not print the other 2?' after a few iterations I just about have it nailed down now - it's @ a 97% match, good enough for me without spending a lot more time to get that last 3%. originals weigh 1.37lbs, mine is .28lbs - probably won't make a different in center mass, but 2lbs is 2lbs. I included a little video short for your curiosity - this is a 22 hour print.

Wow, nice. Great Job. Some detailing with some chrome and Argent paint and no one would even be able to tell the difference just walking by your car.

You might consider making more and selling them. I need a set for my 71 Barracuda. Two pounds less of unsprung weight is definitely a good thing!

I definitely could, but taking a full day of print time each I don't think it would be worth it considering new metal reproductions are $250/set. If/when I get a second printer I'll do it for sure, but tying up 1 printer for 4 days is really tough, I need that time for production pieces.
