One of the 1.6 inch ones, might fit. Is that cover clear? Kinda looks it.

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,651]

Either way if that does pop out, i bet we can design one to pop in!

1.6 would be about a quarter inch too small I think.  No, it's black.  Looks clear I guess because of the reflection of the shop light.

I looked at it close and I'm sure it does pop out.  I'll give it a push with a flat blade and see what happens.  I know how NOT to break things... but I am good at doing the opposite too!

Great thing is, with 3d print we can make it whatever size, shape we want!

That is painted.

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,651]

One day i hope to get that multi color unit, but for now were relying on enamel paints.

Think about using the metal ones?

 

Maybe printing a 'pocket' for the zip tie head to fit into?

If could find a suitable thin metal solution that didnt have the hose clamp type screw id try those. Heres a different style with the hand painted ties.

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,651]

If i did a pocket, id need to actually imbed it between the handle halves. If i just did a side square its hard to torque the tie down  firmly.

The square head likes to be at a 45 rather than 90 if that makes sense.

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,651]

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,651]

I suppose i could do a kinda 45 degree half pocket.

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,651]

Lol one post from a week or so ago and I go all "Squirrel!!!!"

If ya can get that cover off @Jeff-C175 if we can get measurements down to about .005 or .010 of an inch im sure we can make it work!(or .25 mm)

Here's what is currently on the bench Any other color combinations of any of those, like silver wheel, with black ring and silver hubcap?

Panduit makes thin metal zip ties and the head is smaller than the plastic ones.  Also it goes straight in, no 90* bend.  But boy are they X spendive!!  

 

The generic metal ones on Amazon are WAY WAY cheaper!  

 

Zip ties can also be had in a wide variety of colors.

Ill have to check for those!

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,651]

What do yall think of the hubcap done this way?

Ring of hub is shiny on this one, i painted over the silver there, normally it would be as dull as the rest of the plastic.

I was just using what i have available lol. I even have the wider heavy duty ties that look good, size wise but the head of those is rather large.

Ideally, id like an option that the end user can install simply on their own jar, (jars are heavy and breakable! More expensive to ship, and possible breakage in shipment)
