Summary

Cover cap for (pre-)drilled holes. Updated 29-aug-2018.

Use it in your kitchen cabinet to cover peg-holes and keep it clean and more water-resistant (you don't want water in your particle-board). Or use it for any other hole you want to cover. Also usable for (cosmetic) endcaps for pipes and tubes*.

It's a tight fit but still removable if you want.

The cap is almost fully customizable in OpenScad** or online derivatives***.

For your convenience there are also four stl's for 5 (ikea), 6 (other brands) and 8 mm (most popular dowel). The print-profiles are using these.

Slicing:

• Slice it with concentric infill for the best and smoothest result for smaller diameters (<12 mm).

Printing:

• It's a small part so you need good bed-adhesion.
• I tested it from 5 mm and up, they all gave a good result.
• No support needed.
• PLA works fine but PETG is somewhat better

Happy covering :)

*Larger plug-diameters (>25 mm) are also working (tested at 40 mm). So you can use it for (cosmetic) end-caps for pipes for example. Don't make the length of the plug too short for larger diameters or it will snap off. To be save (I hope) and if you can, use at least a plug-length of 15 mm for diameters larger then 20 mm.
