Description
I seem to wind these things on too hard popping the ends out. Or just lose them. This way I can print new ones in any colour I like.

That's cool. How well do they work? Any tips on print settings?

They work really well on my bike. Just screw them on and off a few times to cut the thread in.
I printed mine on an UP. I used normal and .2 layer thickness.
To increase strength I dripped Tetra ( like MEK, but better) in from the bottom and it made them so hard I had trouble cutting the thread!
I also polish them with acetone to make then smooth and shiny.

Very nice. Do they require support during printing?
No, mine prints fine. Naturally you want the cap standing upright, unlike in the STL.
