Print a perfect-fit plug for any circular hole in your drywall or plasterboard.
Just measure, customize, print, and press fit!
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📝 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS / HOW TO USE MODEL:
1. Measure your hole diameter
2. Measure the thickness of the wall / depth of hole you're looking to patch
3. Click to edit the right version for you - Metric or Imperial
4. Adjust parameters in customizer
5. Download and print!
6. Press plug into hole until it clicks
7. Optional: fill/sand/paint face for invisible repair

⚙️ CUSTOMIZABLE PARAMETERS
- Wall hole diameter
- Wall thickness (standard drywall: 10-13mm or 3/8 - 5/8" in freedom units)
- Number of flex legs (2-8). 3 works well by default.
- front face thickness (what covers the hole). Thinner front results in a more subtle cover.
TWO VERSIONS INCLUDED:

🖨️ RECOMMENDED PRINT SETTINGS:
- Material: Tested and works well with PLA and PETG - may need to adjust plug wall thickness for stiffer materials.
- Orientation: Face plate DOWN on build plate
- Supports: None needed
- Infill: 15-50%
- Layer height: 0.2mm works well.
- Build plate: I recommend the standard Textured PEI plate to match the surface finish of painted walls.
- Seam lines: can be set to random if you are operating with tight tolerances.
This took me ages to make but was a fun exercise trying to figure out how to make editable models. Please let me know if this was helpful for you!
