Our fuel jugs, like all fuel jugs, soon had broken caps.
3D printer to the rescue! The cap in my hand is the original (broken) cap and the cap on the yellow jug is the first generation of my printed replacement caps. It turns out that the printed plastic was no match for heavy-handed fuel station attendants. As long as I was the one doing the tightening, there was no problem, but as soon as vice-grip-hands Vern got ahold of it, crack!
Today, I printed fuel jug caps, Gen 4. This one has stainless wire wrapped around it. Go for it Vern. I dare you!
(We’ll see how long these last.)
Here’s another post about some of our 3D printed boat parts.
