This is a simple protective cap for M8 threads. I designed it to protect the threads of my balcony solar system.
The model has no thread, but is designed so that the fit provides sufficient clamping force and has a small insertion bevel for better alignment. The caps must be screwed on with a little force.
The alignment on the plate must be selected with the opening facing downwards. No supports are required. Due to the small contact surface, the bed adhesion may be reduced. An adhesive or a brim is recommended.
You may need to fine-tune the size, depending on the precision of your printer. I used PETG and ASA for my prints. So I would recommend using these materials.
The supplied g-code files are slightly oversized (100.5%) and are for reference only.
Use at your own risk!
Have fun and happy printing! :)
