*** UPDATE 07/17/24 *** Version v3.1r - Version Uploaded
I made a few modifications to the threads on the Tiny Ball, it should work a little better now.
*** UPDATE 06/19/24 *** Version v3r - Rotated Model 90º
Thank you @Integratype9_1421839 for suggesting rotating the model 90º, I have updated the model. The tab is now facing the front of the build plate and for some unknow reason has fixed to tab issue for some people.
*** UPDATE 06/19/24 *** Supports Version uploaded
At this time, the only way I know how to fix the issue with the tab breaking, is to print the model laying flat. This when printed flat, the model REQUIRES SUPPORTS, but it will also be much stronger. I recommend using whatever supports settings you are most comfortable with!!

My buddy asked me to design him a tiny trailer hitch as a gag gift. You know what they say, the bigger the truck, the smaller the trailer hitch!
I uploaded two different size hitches (Tiny & Micro) for both 2in (51.2mm) & 2.5in (63.9mm) receivers. * I added a 1.25" version, but it's still in the testing phase. If you try it, please let me know what changes need to be made*)I also uploaded a version to use with an existing pin.
In my area, 2 inch receivers seem to be the most common, but it's best to measure which size you need before printing. See below image.
Locks into place with a latch tab button, so it can be easily installed and removed.
I highly recommend you Superglue the ball to the hitch (you have no choice for the micro version), because it may come loose over time.
Recommended:
- Use a filament that is suitable for outdoor use, such as ASA (I'm using PETG but not sure how prolonged outdoor use will affect it)
- Minimum of 4 wall loops
- 15% Infill
- Superglue ball to hitch
If you need a different size receiver or latch tab button, please let me know, I will gladly make the appropriate changes and upload them for you!
Disclaimer:
This trailer hitch is a NOVELTY ITEM!!! It is not designed to actually work, so please don't give me a crappy rating because you were not able to hook up your trailer to it.
