I lost one of the caps that cover the caster spindles on our Ztrak Z930M commercial mower.   I had apparently injected an excessive amount of grease & that had pressurized the air under the cap.  The pressure caused the cap to pop off while mowing.

These caps sell for about $4 each at the dealership or online.  Not very pricey,  but I drew up and printed a replacement for use until I could get around to buying a real one.

This part has to have a tight fit for retention.  The model I printed was installed using a dead-blow hammer, handy for applying force with less risk of breakage.  Once seated, it stays in place.

I printed in ASA for UV & temperature stability, using a 0.6mm nozzle & 0.3mm layer height.

Fusion 360 source & .STEP files are provided along with the .STL.

No supports needed for printing.
