Pop Socket Cap Collection

thingiverse

These four designs are meant to replace the cap of a pop socket. The four designs are inspired by [an apollonian gasket](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollonian_gasket), a critical hit on a [d20](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D20_System), the [smash bros logo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Smash_Bros.), and the [colorado flag](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Colorado). They are all designed to be printed face down and without support material. The tabs are supported by bridges from supports within the model. I use 100% infill, but it shouldn't matter much which such small bodies anyway. Smaller layer height will give finer detail, but it should print alright at anything below 0.3 mm due to the bridging. I used 0.06 and it looks great. Your print will probably look even better because I used what would be considered a low-end printer and the levelness of the bed could have been improved. I also think it would look better if the rest of the pop-socket was black so the holes in the model are more consistently dark. I haven't tested all of the designs yet for durability, so it is likely that they might fail after repeated use. In fact I have only tested the d20 design in its current version (which hasn't broken yet.) I used to have a more liberal version of the gasket design as the cap on my personal phone and it lasted several months but eventually started to break from bending inwards when the pop-socket is collapsed. I have gone back and reinforced this design to some degree, so I expect this problem to be mitigated in the present version. Please let me know what your results are. I have also included solidworks files for you to take and create your own design with.
