Re: Looking for a 3D-printable trig pillar cap blueprint/STL
One thing I would ask - anyone who prints & install either Ian's or my flat discs as replacement caps PLEASE make a note of it on either the TUK main site, the facebook page if you use it or here.

1 has been removed so far & that one that didnt have the tape around it. It will be replace at some point in the next few weeks.
