An SMA's center connector can be either a 0.9mm diameter pin or a roughly 1.27mm socket. They're tiny and hard to tell apart. If you have a whole bag of SMA adapters, you have to squint at each end of each adapter like a peasant until you find the one you need.
But if you recall that the plug is also referred to as "male" and the socket as "female", then maybe you get the idea to print pink and blue covers to make it dead simple to find the adapter you're looking for.
Yeah, there's a million STLs for caps for (externally threaded) SMA housings, but this model also has STL files designed to screw into internally threaded housings, and the male one (SMA-Plug-Male-Blue.stl) is designed not to smush the SMA pin.
I printed these using pink and blue ABS, 0.15mm STRUCTURAL, 15% infill, no supports.
SMA-Cap.stl can be used for any externally threaded SMA or RP-SMA connector, just pick the color you need.
SMA-Plug-Female-Pink.stl should be printed in pink, and SMA-Plug-Male-Blue.stl should be printed in blue.
