If you lost the cap to your solarbuddies sunscreen, just reprint a new one! Added tabs for ease of removal. Add text on the bottom to personalize it! I added a solidworks part with text as an example (supposedly the most parametric aside from f3d). Extrude the text pocket 0.2mm into the part for no supports needed.
Printed in Sunlu PETG, 20% infill, 1 wall, no supports, 270/70 directly from a creality filament dryer. Part is roughly 12g. Use fuzzy skin on contour (outside) for more grip!
Purchasing
If you don't have a 3D printer and would like to purchase this item, I would be happy to print and ship replacement cap to you. Send me a message at [email protected]. Located in USA but will ship globally if required. Shipping will vary and affect cost.
NOTES:
May need to scale for fitment.
- Not all Solarbuddies are the same!
- My wife said replacement caps didn't fit on our old solarbuddies, hence why I pursued making a model for them.
- Cap has an Ovalized fit!
- Shape will allow for some room for the groove to expand/snap on the solarbuddy
- Available with my personal text (as an example) or without
- If fitment is still not working.
- Stick within scaling size range of +/- 0.5%.
- If the model you print is too tight, scale up Ovalized Model 0.5% (to 100.5%)
- If the model you print is too loose, scale down Ovalized Model 0.5% (to 99.5%)
- If you use a different filament it may not shrink as much as PETG and be too loose, or opposite, could shrink more and be too tight. So be prepared for some trial and error with other materials. I was finding the difference between fitting and not fitting, as little as 1% size difference.
If you like my work, and have seen the Elegoo Centauri Carbon, consider checking it out with my affiliate link below. I purchased one with my own money, but I appreciate the support so I can keep making/reverse engineering cool models.

- Archived the non-ovalized version as it is annoying to scale and provides little to no value, but adds confusion.
