Published material guidance; still check heat, UV, load, and printer compatibility.
A planning starting point only; wall count, orientation, and geometry often matter more than infill.
Choose the needed variant, then slice it for grams, cost, and print time.
Saved setup guidance is used for material, infill, support, and per-file recommendation text; editable numbers are planning estimates only.

A couple of my Tesla Model S lug nut covers fell off so I came to Thingiverse to find an alternative and found these: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3096177 While these look awesome I need to swap in snow tires each year requiring me to remove the covers twice a year and I didn't believe the caps were going to stay attached to the base even if glued. I also didn't like having to glue the tiny letters to the cap. My design makes the cap and base a single part and the letters are inserted into the cover and held in place by friction. # Which Tesla do these fit? I have verified these fit the Tesla Model S and X. They may fit the Model 3 and Y but I will need someone to confirm # Printing Instructions It is recommended to use ABS filament as it won't degrade with UV exposure. ABS has a tendency to be very dimensionally unstable but some brands are better than others. I have had great results with Hatchbox ABS. The covers should fit snuggly on the lug nut, if they don't you might need to adjust the scaling on your slicer - Caps can be printed with no supports with the cap side down on the build plate with 100% infill. - Letter Inserts these print easily with the letter/logo side up with 100% infill. If your slicer supports ironing that can be used to produce a smoother finish on the letters or you can print with supports and letter side down on the build plate for the best finish. - Insert Tool prints easily with the circle side on the build plate # Assembly There is a different-sized notch to help orient the letter correctly. Line up the notch and use the insert tool to press it firmly into place against a hard flat surface. The letter inserts are a tight fit
