Description
Sailboat cam cleats, which secure running rigging such as halyards or sheets, are usually made from stainless steel. When a line is pulled across the top of the cleat to secure it, there can be substantial abrasion. Many vendors attach a synthetic cap on top of the metal cleat to reduce abrasion. This model was created with Shapr3D. I initially tried printing with ABS, but I found the quality was better with PETG.
