When I lost the cap that came with my 1st gen apple pencil, I turned to Printables.com to find a new one. When neither of the models I found worked with my pencil, I decided to design my own, and do a little extra!
This model includes files for:
- a normal, round Apple cap clone,
- a single tab to prevent the pencil and cap from rolling away,
- a double tab to really keep the cap in place, or room to attach 8x3mm magnets
- a keychain loop to attach an extra cap to your keychain, or a small string to the pencil
Notes for printing:
- Please insert the pencil into the cap right after the print is finished and while the part is still warm. This will allow the print to form to your pencil and make up for tolerences in your printer. If it still doesn't fit well, try printing at 102% size or using a tiny file to open up the hole a little bit.
- I tested the prints with the rectangular opening on the top. This requires rotating the model 180 degrees in the slicer. You may be able to do opening down too.
- Brim recommended unless you know you can print small bases successfully.
The caps in the pictures were printed on an Ender3 Pro with a MicroSwiss NG hotend in GST3D white filament. I have also printed them in deep blue Inland PLA+.
