Tesla Model 3 Wheel Cap for measuring ride height

V002

I added a separate plug that does two things: in vertical orientation, it makes it easier to make an exact mark on your fender. In horizontal orientation, it's an exact contact point that sits at wheel axle height. Furthermore, I found my own caps hard to remove, and the bigger hole helps - you can pop in a screwdriver and lever it out.

I lowered my car with a ride height adjustable suspension, and needed to measure ride height accurately. Rather than take an educated guess as to where the wheel center is, I decided to print 4 of these dummy wheel caps, so I could find the center more easily.

This design is based on 3D Math's Tesla Model 3 Wheel center cap. I shamelessly stole the dimensions and the snap features, and made my own markings on the front.
