Thru axle cover with disk brake shim by iprintedthis

Last crawled date: 2 years, 10 months ago

A simple, quick to print thru-axle cover with a shim to prevent accidentally popping out the disk brake cylinder, with the shim connected by two intentionally flexible tethers.
Ideal during cleaning and transit.
Note the step in the tether doesn't really print nicely yet, but it's there to prevent snagging on the fork and wearing quickly.
To-do:
Add more variants of thru-axle length and diameters?
Add print-in-place 'coaster' for rear variants to keep the chain in place
Print settings:
Layer height: 0.2mm or 0.3mm (I printed it in 0.3mm with the bridged part at 0.2mm)
Infill: 10% or higher
Supports: None
Material: any (not flexibles)
Note:
I haven't printed it with the flanges at the ends yet. It should fit and help align the axle ends
