I use paper tubes to store long crafting items such as wire, wood and threaded rods, etc. Tubes are also good for protecting shipments. They come in many sizes and are really strong and durable.
This model is primarily for a tube with a inner diameter of 50 mm, however, I also provide a .STEP file and also below is a link directly to the OnShape modeling environment, where you can easily customize my design.

This model does not require any special settings, more details in the attached 3MF file.
Assembly instructions:

I recommend gluing the inserted plug in the tube. Of course, if you are going to store light things in the tube, this is not necessary.
I used a two-component epoxy glue, the joint is really very strong..

Custom modification:
If you want to modify the model, I am attaching the STEP file and a link to my OnShape.
You can easily modify the model by changing the variables, see image above.
