Wheel cap, or knockoff for M2C hex adapters

[thrak76]

I really dislike the "black holes" left by the M2C 17mm hex adapters. So far, I do like the nuts.

What can I get into there? Don't think there's any thread to engage. I'd much rather keep the M2C nuts, for now.

Maybe you can melt some plastic and fit it in there. If you have a 3d printer or a local library that will print for you, you can find 17mm nut cover files.

Fill it in with a colored or clear silicone or paint of some sort.

Maybe a shapeways order? Where to find files?

Maybe this would help.

 

[thrak76]

Yeah, but I assume that has to thread onto the adapter. I want to keep using the M2C nuts, and there's only 1.5 or 2 threads to get on to.

Oh ok, then maybe 3d printing is the solution.

Saw that one... think it stretches over the nut?

Yes, it just goes on top.
