Description
The figure cap consists of four parts: two are 3D printed and two can be purchased at any hardware store. These are a standard M6 nut and a bolt with a thread length of up to 30 mm.
Instructions for adapting any model to the cap are in the article (https://3dtoday.ru/blogs/ashak1el/kak-prevratit-lyubuyu-3d-figurku-v-zaglusku-dlya-zabora).
Leave links to your adapted models in the comments.

Instructions
I recommend using Pet-G plastic.
Printing the base of the plug (60x60 base) is simple. Print with your usual settings, but it's recommended to select a line width of 0.5 mm. Supports are not required, and the model is saved in the desired orientation.
To print the figurine, if support is required, first exclude the inner surfaces where the nut and the internal threads will be placed. Add a pause at a height of 8 mm.
During the print pause, place a standard M6 nut in the designated cavity (make sure the nut doesn't protrude above the top layer of the print, just in case) and continue printing.
The final step is to connect the printed models using an M6 bolt. An M6 bolt up to 30 mm long will do.
