I've had this nice, basic, magnetic tip Craftsman screwdriver for decades. When I purchased it, I also picked up a set of Torx bits to store in the handle.
The original plastic cap is lost to the ages. It was made of a softer plastic and was always the weakest part of the kit.
For many years, I've just used a cork to keep the bits in. Now that I have my shiny new CR-10s, a replacement cap seemed like a good project.
Print Settings
Printer:
CR-10s
Rafts:
No
Supports:
Yes
Resolution:
.1
Infill:
20%
Notes:
To keep the smooth curve to the top, I printed thread side down with supports.
Just remove the supports and thread it into the handle a few times to get things working smoothly.
I printed this at .1mm and I had to work it in by turning and then backing off a half dozen times. After that, it has remained snug but removable.
I did not sand or paint the plug. The print lines add a little extra gripping texture.
How I Designed This
I measured the handle and printed a number of test threads to dial in the exact thread settings. I created a flat-topped version that printed without supports and I used that version for a number of weeks. However it wasn't confortable or attractive.
This was modelled up in Fusion 360 and sliced in Simplify 3D. (Cura works fine as well, but the supports are a little harder to dig out.)
