Custom trailer hitch cover

[Celly]

I figured a few people will get a kick out of this trailer hitch cover I 3D Printed.

Raptor: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2901355
Hitch Blank: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4647059

Since the raptor is articulated it dances around like it is high on a Florida grade mixture of glue and **** when you drive.

Haven't done runs yet... But I'm pretty sure it will add some power on the Dino.

Wonder how long that will last.

In the elements? 3-6 Months since it was printed with PLA. If I printed it with ABS -- it'd last a few years.

In the parking lot? 2-3 weeks probably until a Jeeper Creeper get's jealous and duck rages on it.

Yes, I was thinking in the elements. I own a jeep as well, would never vandalize a Raptor, chevy owners on the other hand.....

Yeah, 3D Printing elements have come pretty far in the last few years. PLA (Made from Corn) will last pretty good if you spray it with some paint, but the elements still break it down quicker than ABS. ABS will last damn near forever if you put some paint on it. But it off gasses when you print it, so I tend to avoid it.

Also, Joking about Jeepers... Around here you have to be a special type of stupid to mess with any truck. Floridians are super duper shooty.

Pretty neat - I saw this one up close the other day. Thought it was pretty cool but questioned how long before someone ran into the back and squished the head:

Whoa, that is rad... But also looks like a first class shin-buster.
