Description
I only needed to go up to about 10psi before the pressure was gone because of the leak.
m6x1.0 thread in a schrader valve (thread designed in one of the plugs), pressurise the boost pipes (and intake pipes because I'm lazy), and leak found in moments!
To design your own, get a bit of string to wrap around the mounting flanges to mark up (this will give you the circumference, measure the string and divide by pi to give you the diameter) add on material for the fasteners to tighten down on. If you have a valve with a thread (or not like me and had to cut a thread on the valve) design one cap with the same thread and screw it in.
PETG as that's all I have left. 4 perimeters, 5 layers top and bottom with only 10 percent gyroid infill

Print price estimates
Planning prices for one print, not a final quote. Defaults use a size allowance inferred from the part name, not a measured or sliced model. Filament suitability must be confirmed.
| Filament | USD / print | Application notes |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | $21.50 | Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors. |
| PETG | $21.50 | General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review. |
| ASA | $23.50 | Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry. |
| ABS | $22.50 | Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions. |
| TPU | $26.00 | Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials. |
| Nylon | $26.00 | Moisture, tolerances and application require review. |
| PA-CF | $28.00 | Filled nylon; abrasive filament and fit need review. |
Pricing assumptions and exclusions
USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.
Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.
Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
