A needle cap to protect your (mostly workplace) needles, store them a bit more safe and without smudging you other stuff with its liquids :)
I mainly want to use this on all of my solder flux and solder paste needles. But recently also filled a few with oils. And I also found them a bit uneasy to handle because of the dirty needles. I often unscrewed the needle and put the small caps on them again and store them in small plastic bags.
Now I can just put a cap on it and throw them in my tool drawers without smudging all my tools or running the change or grabbing into the needle part when searching for tools.
PRINT :
0.2mm layer, no support.
I printed them from Prusament PETG (orage) and Colorfab XT (transparent). Without MMU. I just changed the filament halfway the print. I thought it would be handy to be able to see the needle end.
SIZE :
I uploaded 2 version as the measurement comes pretty close and seems to differ a bit between needles. My 2 needles where either ~9.5mm or ~10.5mm.
If the 2 sizes I provided don't fit nice enough, you can try a few things :
- Scale up or down with ~1% in the slicer.
- Use the 3D file I uploaded to adjust it to your dimensions.
