A fully customizable, 3D-printable end cap for metal L-angle profiles.

This model was designed for metal angle sections with a square L geometry, but the included OpenSCAD source file lets you quickly adapt the cap to different profile sizes, wall thicknesses, insertion depths, and tolerances.

This creates a proper internal L-shaped seat that follows the metal profile, includes a closed bottom, and leaves configurable clearance for a reliable press-fit or slip-fit assembly.

How to use
  1. Insert your metal profile in the metal profile section

  2. Set the required tolerance

  3. IMPORTANT: remember to uncheck the "show profile" box before exporting the model

Main features
  • Fully parametric OpenSCAD design.

  • Designed for metal L-angle / corner profiles.

  • Customizable profile leg size and metal thickness.

  • Adjustable end-cap insertion depth.

  • Adjustable bottom thickness.

  • Adjustable wall thickness.

  • Adjustable clearance for tuning the fit to your printer and material.

  • Internal L-shaped cavity generated from the actual profile geometry.

  • Optional profile reference preview in OpenSCAD.

  • Rounded-corner / fillet-ready geometry.

  • No supports required in the default orientation, depending on the final geometry and slicer settings.

Adjustable parameters

Open the .scad file in OpenSCAD and edit the parameters:

Parameter

Description

profile_leg

Nominal external length of each leg of the L-angle profile

profile_thickness

Actual thickness of the metal angle

endcap_length

Total endcap height

bottom_thickness

Thickness of the closed end face

wall_thickness

Thickness of the printed external walls

fit_clearance

Clearance between the metal profile and the printed cavity

outer_fillet

Radius of the outer rounded corner

inner_fillet

Radius of the internal rounded corner

Recommended fit settings

Start with these values and adjust after a small test print:

Fit type

Suggested fit_clearance

Tight press-fit

0.10–0.20 mm

Standard slip-fit

0.20–0.35 mm

Loose / easy assembly

0.40–0.60 mm

Actual clearance depends on filament shrinkage, extrusion calibration, material, print orientation, and the real radius of the bent metal angle.
