Diesel fuel cap desk display stand

I replaced the broken diesel fuel cap on my car and thought I'd make a simple desk stand to keep the old lid on display.  I designed a holder in OpenSCAD from measurements taken off the cap, did a little experimentation with hull for the base.  Final print used increased density infill in the bottom layers to add stability.  Not sure if this would work for a gasoline fuel cap, let me know your results if you try it…

Note: GCODE is for PETG because I had a particular color (Greengate Green) that I wanted to use.

Note: Diesel cap not included.  Provide your own.
