Customizable cap / connector for silicone caulking gun tubes

thingiverse

I was strolling through the hardware store last week when I spotted a "universal caulking cap" on the shelves. They also had a dispenser tube that you could snap on for easy access. Instead of splurging money on specialized caps, I ran home and programmed my computer to generate this custom solution. You can design either a closed lid or a connector with a hole at the end, perfect for attaching it to your unique creations. UPDATE: I've uploaded an STL file for the universal cap, so there's no need to re-generate it each time! Design Tips The measurements were taken from tubes on hand. Feel free to comment if you have different measurements in mind; they might fit differently. Physically testing these combinations hasn't happened yet. If people submit their creations, that will be fantastic!
