This is an easier dust cap for the OpenAstroGuider v3 (https://wiki.openastrotech.com/OpenAstroGuider/OpenAstroGuider). The official one is much nicer, but much more challenging to print and stay in place.
It's a spring-loaded clamping mechanism that any moderately-calibrated printer will be able to do.
It's 100% parametrically designed, and it fits a specimen printed by the official OAT store (57.8mm external diameter). Let me know if you need a specific change, and I'll happily make it available for all.
I also thought of doing a pressure fit with a conical interior section, but then again, that'd need small tolerances. Let me know in the comments if you have a design suggestion.

Post-Printing =============Layers create a lot of friction. Sanding the clips' internal face is ideal, bur very tricky. A simple piece of tape will ensure smooth sliding.
