Nut covers are great, but sometimes the bolt/screw sticks out a lot and the predefined ones can't cover it. So I created a OpenSCAD customizable script to generate custom nut caps for every situation.
There are two versions available. Overall hex look and round look. Choose the one you like more.
The script gives you two options:
- Use predefined sizes for the nuts. I used standart sizes and took the maximum values from a table like this one:
Please note that your nut might be smaller so measure it if possible. Then use the custom option from the dropdown and enter the sizes.
2. Use the custom option and enter diameter (D), height (m) and flat to flat (s) size of your nut. I would substract 0.1 to 0.2 mm for a tighter fit.
Post any improvements you can think of in the comments. I'll be happy to implement anything reasonable.
