For my inset PC4 lid of my cereal container dry boxes (similar design to this) I need a shorter plug. The handle is merely 8.5mm tall. This allows me to stack my cereal container dry boxes!

While I have marked this as a remix (superb idea and design!), this model has actually been made from scratch in OpenSCAD to meet my requirements. Feel free to create your own STLs from the parametric file, though you may need to adjust the PTFE slot position.

One notable change is that the filament capture is hexagonal, and is tapered. This should provide a better "bite" on filament stumps after unloading, and a better experience when inserting in general.

Like the original design, I opted to print in PETG with 99 perimeters to make it solid. Any nozzle bigger than 0.4n will yield bad results, so use a 0.4n. To reduce retractions and tiny walls I had increased outer walls to 0.65mm.
