It is so amazing to have this file... we will never be without an important (and fragile) accessory again!!<br/><br/>Oh, there was one small issue when printing this STL on a resin printer, a tiny hole appeared where the thread starts, at the deepest part of the inside of the cap. In the picture that part can be seen to the left of the inside part, but the hole is not visible. This can easily be patched up with some resin and a UV torch.<br/><br/>That artifact is NOT in the STL file.<br/><br/>I'm going to try and print this again, I'll let you know how the 2nd run goes!</p> Mine just came in today, and…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2022-10-18:1566398:Comment:8648582022-10-18T01:55:18.447ZBSP016https://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/Ben233

<p>Thanks. I realized after I posted this that the replacement cap came with an o-ring already installed so I was doubling up and hence the gap :)<br></br> <br></br> <cite>Arne said:</cite></p>

<p>I dont feel like going through 63 replies now but in case it hasnt been said yet 1. for some filaments like abs its common to do a final finish with acetone vapor. It'll melt the surface and close tiny gaps resulting in a glossy finish. 2. I think vintage Crestworth Astro bottles used an identical cap, you might want to add this to your description once somebody confirms this. If no one knows I can check tomorrow.</p>
