Parametric Hole Plug / Panel Cap
Print Profile(1)
Description
This versatile, professional-grade Parametric Hole Plug is designed to cleanly seal holes in hollow panels, car interiors, or furniture. The design features a snap-fit mechanism with six flexible prongs that ensure a tight friction fit regardless of the material thickness.
Key Features
Fully Adaptable: Easily adjust the diameter and panel thickness using the built-in portal configurator to fit any specific hole size.
Refined Aesthetics: Includes a customizable rounded top edge (fillet) for a smooth, factory-look finish.
Secure Fit: The 6-prong expansion mechanism provides a reliable "click" into place, ensuring the cap remains flush against the surface.
- Multi-Material Printing: Print multiple units in different colors or materials (like PETG for heat resistance in cars or TPU for a soft-touch seal) to match your project perfectly.
Parametric Customization
You can modify the geometry extensively via the configurator:
Hole Diameter: Match your specific drill bit or existing opening.
Panel Thickness: Adjust the gap to ensure the hooks engage tightly against the back of the material.
Cap Style: Change the overhang width, total thickness, and the radius of the edge rounding.
Hook Tension: Fine-tune the "bite" by adjusting hook protrusion and prong wall thickness.
