3D Printed Octane Compression Caps (Supporting IRIXNetwork) - rbz - 11-21-2020

I have been working with Raion to design a 3D Printed Octane compression cap since these never come up used and are critical for storing Octane boards. The caps are designed to fit around the compression connector snugly with leaving plenty of room to prevent contact with the delicate connector contacts.

These are printed in translucent purple, with IRIXNetwork branding on them, using TPU 95 which is a semi-flexible material.

I recently (after I designed my part) was able to get an OEM cap and here is how they compare. Mine fits more snug around the connector than the OEM connector, potentially reducing dust from getting on the surface.

The caps are being sold in packs of 5, shipped in the US for $30. International orders are $25 + shipping. PayPal is my preferred method of payment. Need more than 5? Let me know and we can work out pricing to save on shipping costs.

$5 of each order will be donated to IRIXNetwork to help support the site and its projects.

Ordered 10 of them!

I'm sure we can make a (yet limited) pyramid scheme out of this Tongue

Throwing up a note here that I ordered 6 of them from RBZ. Glad to put some money towards maintaining the most delicate part of my Octane components!

RE: 3D Printed Octane Compression Caps (Supporting IRIXNetwork) - rbz - 03-01-2021

Shipped sets of caps off to @jenna64bit and @Tephran and left feedback for both and @Noguri as well. Thank you all!
