Maybe we can post post cool 3d printed ideas here.

I'll start.

Though this was pretty neat.

It is. No stock in ZA, waiting for the shipment from NZ.

Looks like it could be a blob of epoxy.

Is it not close in size to any standard tube end caps that may work?

Aye, here's my first printed handle...

I printed one out of ABS and after the first brew it had a concave bend in it.

I ended up turning one on the lathe out of stainless, never looked back. It fits tightly enough to stay on and will never break or accidentally come off.

well, yes, old pill tube caps but they don't last

Thinking of doing another one?

Depends were you are based?

Looking at how the filter is designed I don't think they are guaranteed to be exactly the same diameter (at least not within a reasonable tolerance) so it may be hard to make one that will be a press fit without having your filter to fit it to. Hell mine wasn't even round but more elliptical

I am based in Durban, so only way that would work would be for you to send me your filter and I make the cap for you

Seems they have 6 of the whole filter in stock:

Printer this clamp/valve for the silicone tube on my pump outlet to control the flow better.
