Description

This is a remix of @DavidB's great Lego Minifig car hitch cover. I modified it to fit in a 1 ¼" Hitch Receiver. A ½" diameter hitch pin and clip will fit the Hitch connector. 

As this will be outside in the sun and weather, I recommend you print this in PETG. The Lego Minifigure head has a smooth top so dirt, water and other road debris does not get stuck in it (Great design idea, @DavidB!). 

I used super glue to connect the two pieces together. 

Notes: 

  • Supports: 
    • Lego Mini-fig head: Yes - on the bottom of the head
    • Hitch Connector: No - supports are not needed on the hitch connector. Print it with the solid base face down on your plate.
  • Seams: Make sure your seam is set to rear of the Lego Minifig head so you do not get the seam running down the face of the Lego Minifig head
  • Brim: I added a brim to the Hitch Connector. You may or may not need this. I had to reprint when I had a spaghetti failure because it didn't stay adhered to the plate. 
  • You might want to add an extra wall loop to help hide the interior black parts.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

I changed this Lego Head Hitchcover to fit a Class II trailer hitch. Instead of fitting on top of a trailer hitch ball - this remix fits inside of a 1 ¼" trailer hitch connector. The head had to be modified to receive the hitch connector from the back of the head. 

I made the Lego Minifigure's face smooth so it would not trap debris.
