1/4-20 Protective Thread Cap for Camera Tripods and Light Stands
thingiverse
This is for all photographers out there. You need a protective cap to put on light stands and tripods, one that prevents the tripod screw from getting damaged in transit. I used to lose these little caps when buying light stands and couldn't find any place to buy them, so I designed and printed my own. The part has the 1/4-20 thread already built into the bottom and the thread depth is roughly 5/16" (8mm) deep. Depending on your printer's accuracy and shrinkage, you might need to clean up the threads a little bit, but they work fine after being screwed onto a bolt for the first time.
