I consider myself pretty good at keeping track of my things.  I always put things in specific places so I can find them again.   Even so, I still managed to find a way to lose the end cap of my camera tripod.   I'm guessing there will be someone out there who has managed the same accomplishment.

For some reason I couldn't find an existing model for this in Makerworld.  Fortunately, if I can't find one, I can make one.

This is a protective end cap to cover the protruding screw of a standard 1/4-20 UNC camera mount screw.   Designed to stop your metal screw from scratching your precious AV equipment.

I've printed in PLA (which is still softer than metal).   You could consider TPU if you have it.   Let me know if you do.

Features

• Fits standard 1/4-20 UNC AV screw
• Stops scratches from said screw
• Looks… like a screw cap.   I guess that is a feature.

Let me know if anyone uses this.  Feedback is welcome.
