Description
The plastic stopper for my Christmas tree stand broke, so I created a replacement that screws onto the end of the M8 bolt as a replacement.
I printed it with 100% infill PLA for strength. As it's such a small part, the material used and time isn't excessive. I would recommend PETG if you have it, though.
Be sure to use a fine layer resolution for good threads. I used 0.15 mm but 0.2 mm would probably work too.
The stopper can also be used for any other purpose if needed.
Update
New grippable version added.
