3D Printed Konig Rewind Center Cap

I really didn't like the Konig center caps so I designed my own. I've never seen a design like this, but it worked out great. Instead of using clips, I designed a wingnut style.

If anyone wants some, send me a PM. I can put any design in the center and do different colors.

Giving back to the community. If anyone wants to print these themselves, you can download/print these by heading over to MakerWorld,

All I ask is for you to Boost the model. It's free if you have a Bambu Lab printer, download the model, and print.

For those without a means to print, contact me via PM.

I can also take this model and redesign for the factory wheels. I have the 13" waffle and 13" plus wheels. I did not have any GSL-SE wheels.

What an awesome part! A couple of my Konig center caps are starting to spin freely and I might just try some of these out for a change. Great work!

Note my Konig center caps were a bit loose and I could hear them rattle as I drove the car. I fixed it by wrapping masking tape around the tangs to make them tighter @Toruki .

These mazda caps look nice and like the wingnut idea.

So these are great! They are just slightly oversized and tap in nice and tight with a rubber hammer. The top finish from that printer is very high quality.

Just got my new tires mounted but the road salt is down with a storm here in the Northeast. The road test will have to wait but at least the old wheels/tires will stay on and get the flat spots this winter.
