1.25" Cap-Plug Project

Updated 1/6/19

 

      
 This Project was
      to replace and update the many lost cap plugs for my telescope
      accessories. Primary used to keep dust and pollen off of the
      optics internally, this robost design was made with PLA and takes
      just over a meter in filament. So for a few pennies, the caps
      can be made that dealers charge $5 for.

 Here
            are three finished plugs! They all fit beautifully.
