I created this cap to use a M8 socket head capscrew as a thumbscrew with the V-block and clamp by i606. I have plenty of M8 SHCS laying around so this seemed like a good way to put a couple of them to use.

It is a press fit so no glue needed. This lets you easily revert back to original configuration and at the same time it is a snug enough fit that it will not come off during use.

I printed solid as the walls are thin and it is a tiny part that takes less than 30 minutes to print.

Print Settings

Printer Brand:

Prusa

Printer: 

I3 MK3S

Rafts:

No

Supports: 

No

Resolution:

.20

Infill: 

40%

Notes:

Infill doesn't matter for me as I set perimeters high enough to make this a near solid print.

I normally print in groups of four which takes just under 2 hours to print.
