Don't you just hate it when you have to model the most basic M3 screw cap ever for one purpose?

Well, don't model no more with this model collection of screw caps for hex M3 of many sizes and types, mostly in basic shapes.

Will make more in the future(knurled, handknobs and other types)     :)

The number on the model name corresponds to the inscribed circle diameter, most of the shapes have min. size of 8 mm and max. of 21 mm(apart from triangles which have min. 7 mm and max 20 mm).

There are also high versions of the closed top variants, there are 6 and 9 mm heights.

There are open top and closed top variants, closed top has the thread directed against the bottom side of the hole, open top has the thread going through the hole, but the top is seen on the top.

Currently, for other sizes, this needs to be sized in sicer:

M4 / 1.320754716981132 *

M5 / 1.509433962264151 *

M6 / 1.8490566037735852

M8 / 2.424528301886792

M10 / 3.207547169811321 *

*not tested due to no personal printer and no current access to a printer, source of sizes

When attaching to the screw, use a bit of force, the clearance is -0,10 mm compared to the hex screw head.
