<p><strong>Check out my other postcap designs: </strong><a href="https://www.printables.com/de/social/256636-seemomster/collections/185470"><strong>https://www.printables.com/de/social/256636-seemomster/collections/185470</strong></a></p><p>At the moment the octopus post cap is availabel for posts with a diameter of 16.5, 18.5, 22, 34.5, 38.5, 40.5, 42.5, 48.5, 60.5 and 76.5 mm.&nbsp;</p><p>Every size is alvailable in 4 different models. the doublefaced variant is intended so that each side of the fence has its own face and the octopus does not have to be constantly turned back and forth.</p><p>But if none of them fits your post it is very simple to scale it. You import the <i>octopus_100_postcap_for-scaling.stl (or the version you want)</i>. It will look something like this:<img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/234140/rich_content/57205375-aa76-4702-bd0d-5149ce52841f/slicer1.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%221b4fe7e2-deb1-435c-977b-1f0608d754fc%22%2C%22w%22%3A1916%2C%22h%22%3A950%7D"></p><p>Make sure that the lock for scaling is closed, as shown in the red circle above. Now you can input your post diameter in mm as the <i>Scale factor</i>. I recommend to add a bit tolerance. Measured: 44.2 mm → <i>Scale factor </i>44.7 mm. For example for a diameter of 34.5 mm it should look like this:<img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/234140/rich_content/96686b14-6527-4881-b1c9-122b13daa357/slicer2.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%222fa5a475-9c44-4947-88b7-a15ba3ad7380%22%2C%22w%22%3A1919%2C%22h%22%3A973%7D"></p><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 0.2 mm&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Notes: </strong>It looks with a colour change.<img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/234140/rich_content/59daffb4-3c24-4b91-a68b-ed734dab908f/slicer3.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2252bc4e35-77fe-4ef2-8fab-9cfa4123e270%22%2C%22w%22%3A1919%2C%22h%22%3A975%7D"></p>
