Description

This customizer require 8 parameter.

-Horizontal dimension (X direction)
-Vertical dimension (Y direction)
-The thickness of the tube
-Length of the part inserted on the tube (minimum recommended is 15mm)
-Thickness of the cover (recommended 3mm or more for effective protection)
-The size or height of the gripper. 4mm works fine.
-Thickness of the gripper. For a 0.4mm nozzle I recommend 0.5mm.
-Resolution. Just use half of the layer height you intent to use.

If you got a loose fit, try to decrease the tube thickness on the customizer.

Print your endcap as delivered with no support. I made mine with PETG.
