You can add your own designs, and logos to your hitch!
This is a cover that goes into your trailer hitch. i have a custom plate that i made and like but if you want to design your own with different wording, i have a blank as well. fits a 2" hitch. i just used a standard hitch pin to keep it in place. The front plate just snaps right into the main body and allows you to have interchangeable plates. sturdy fit, don't worry about it falling out.
if you want to change the colors of your wording, add a "pause at layer" command and or a "change material" command in your slicer.
the plate in the picture was made using black PLA for the bottom layers and TPU for the orange wording. they bonded very nicely.
Print Settings - (about 100g weight for body and 29g for plate)
layer height: .20 mm Standard
Infill: 100% (you want this for structural integrity, the walls are only 2-3 layers thick)
supports: YES, but make sure to click "on build plate only" (for supporting the flats that fit toge
