Parametric Cylindrical Nut Cover

Protect your exposed bolts and nuts while giving your DIY projects a clean, professional finish with this Parametric Cylindrical Nut Cover.

Designed with a stylish knurled (crisscross) exterior texture, this cap not only hides unsightly hardware but also provides an excellent grip, allowing it to double as a convenient thumb-turn knob.

This model is fully parametric, meaning you can easily customize it to fit any hardware size by adjusting just four simple dimensions:

• Nut Size (taille_ecrou): The width of the nut across the flats (the size of the hexagonal cutout).
• Nut Thickness (epaisseur_ecrou): The height/thickness of the nut itself.
• Screw Diameter (largeur_vis): The width/diameter of the exposed screw or bolt thread.
• Screw Length (longueur_vis): The length of the screw thread protruding past the nut.

Whether you need to cover a tiny M3 nut on a 3D printer frame or a large M8 bolt on outdoor furniture, you can generate the exact size you need!

Features:

• Fully customizable for any metric (M3, M4, M5, etc.) or imperial hardware.
• Aesthetic knurled surface for an industrial look and enhanced grip.
• Cylindrical profile that blends seamlessly into mechanical assemblies, furniture, or custom 3D printing projects.

Printing Recommendations:

• Material: PLA or PETG for indoor use; ABS/ASA/PETG if exposed to the sun or harsh weather.
• Layer Height: 0.16mm or 0.20mm works great and keeps the knurled texture crisp.
• Infill: 15% - 20% is perfectly fine.
