I've designed this end cap for use with the undrilled curved cargo L-Track i purchased from below:

https://www.mudstuff.co.uk/collections/cargo-control-1/products/cargo-track-curved

I've included an image of the dimensions from their site. This is what I used as a reference for modelling the cap.

Design considerations
I made this a 2 Piece design so the insert retains some strength and the cap has a better finish with minimal stepping. (To reduce the small amount of stepping on the tip, you could use variable layer heights in your slicer.)

I added some manual "ears" to the model in the slicer (Orca Slicer) to help with adhesion (Photo of sliced model included)

The "hole" in the cap has a small chamfer on the edge to help guide the insert and minimise "elephants foot". This hole is also 0.05mm larger than the dimensions of the insert. I was able to remove from the build plate, remove the ears and it was a friction fit. You could glue the insert into the cap if required.

Print settings
I used the default "0.2mm standard" profile for the Bamboo Lab A1 Mini Orca with the following changes

Filament = eSun Matte PLA
Inner wall speed - 200mm/s
Brim Type - Painted (see reference image for locations)
