This screw cover was inspired by the repair of a kids table soccer. The screw heads stick out on the side and children might injure themself. This cover is designed to be relatively smooth, for a FDM printed part, to make the table safer.

The channels/holes on the bottom can be used to lift the cap of with a small screw driver.

Please check before printing:
  • Measure your screw head incl. the washer to check this model fits.
  • You should check the tolerances of your printer to ensure a snug fit on the screw head.
  • Material shrinkage might effect the snug fit as well.
Print instructions:
  • Adjust the size of the screw cover by scaling in the slicer for a snug fit
  • Filament of your choice
  • 0,2 mm layer height (or lower for extra smoothness)
  • Supports needed for the inner overhangs

I would be happy to see some of your makes posted :)
