I feel like this might/should exist, but I can’t find it. Is there a program that allows for replacement screw cap generation by simply entering a diameter, depth, thread gap, and thread pitch? Would be really nice to have something like that. I the meantime, maybe I’ll consider printing tpu corks/ stoppers with mid diameter equal to vessel opening diameter.

    You can download .step files for most things sold by McMaster-carr. F360 let’s you import directly using the product number- this includes pretty much any kind of bolt or screw you want.

    Other software you might have to do so manually, but yeah.

    Why do work when there’s a library right there begging to be used. (And nope, you don’t have to buy from them…. Even if that’s why they do it.)

        Their files are wonderful. One thing to remember is you can reference/import the file and then project features onto sketches- things like mounting holes.

        (For example if you’re slapping a psu into the design,)
