Trailer Hitch Cover To 3D Print

[HUSBANDOFBS]

Thanks, MJbronco!

I am having ~ zero luck trying to blend colors to get the Area 51 and Cyber Orange colors closer to correct. I've trashed about a quarter pound of filament and no joy.

My proposal:
I print one of each with the colors that I have (could get) closest to correct and post up pics of them (hopefully clipped into a real Sport of each color) and let y'all decide if that is a route you could take.
Or, I supply you with one printed white, with the inserted part, support shims and locking nubs all glued up, and a horse of the color of your choosing. You could sand it, paint it, Krazy Glue the horse in and then hit it with the clear. I would knock off $5.00 for this deal.

I'm open to all suggestions/questions and want to keep this light hearted and fun for all of us!

First, I hope this isn't a major cost for you filament wise...how far off do you think you he A51 color is?

If you really think it's way too far off I'm definitely fine with the white backing (that I would paint) and a white Bronco to go with it!

The 'trashing" was only around $2, so, no biggie at all. I'm printing the blue one right now, so let me see if I can get a pic of it on a Sport tomorrow and we can figure it out together.

EDIT TO ADD PICS:

This blue is not a 'match' but it looks really good in person!

That does look great!

Here's what I'm thinking, I'll def take that A51 one, but if you're willing to print a white plate with the white Bronco (not glued on yet) I'll buy both and experiment with painting it to see how it turns out!

Also, glad it wasn't a huge cost for the trashing and I know it's been said multiple times, but thank for all the time and effort you've been putting in to this

Wonderful, MJbronco! I'll proceed to finish this blue one and start on the DIY one tomorrow!
Once I have everything done, I'll send you a private message here so we can get our infos in order.

HUSBANDOFBS you are a rock star. Thank you so much for these. Awesome and beyond expectations. Thank you.

 

[HUSBANDOFBS]

ABSOLUTELY Welcome, Ralph! A pleasure doing business with you!

I'll be attempting to print this tomorrow.... Big flat pieces scare me though... usually get warping

 

[HUSBANDOFBS]

I wish you ultimate luck, Dave! Even with a dialed in machine and new filament, it's normally a crap shoot. LOL

Welllllll....

I had some issues with infill on the horse. And my top layer doesn't look nearly as good as yours.
And man I didn't realize how meh my horse looked till looking at it in this photo.

But from a few steps away, I'm ok with it

How'd you print it without walls around the outside? I used Cura to slice it. Printed in PETG on an Ender 3.
