M33 thread protection cap: a part that protects a thread or an end fitting during transport. We produce it to order, at the exact size your job calls for.
You do not need a 3D file to order. A dimensioned drawing, a photograph taken square-on with a ruler beside the part, or the broken part sent to us by post is enough: we rebuild the geometry and submit the file to you before anything is manufactured.
The three materials we recommend for this part. PETG, our default choice: the default functional choice. Holds to 70 °C, flexible enough to take a knock without snapping, and it does not crack the way PLA does. PP: living hinges and chemical resistance. It is the only material in the range that will bend thousands of times in the same place. ASA: ABS that does not yellow. It is the only UV-stable family in the range: outdoors everything else ages, ASA keeps its colour.
Envelope up to 350 × 350 × 350 mm, quantities from 1 to several hundred, precision matched to what the part has to do rather than to a commercial standard. All twenty workshop materials remain available for this part, from PLA to carbon-filled PPS rated at 200 °C: if your constraint differs from the one we assumed, tell us and we change material without changing the starting price.
Why work with us. The part you cannot find any more. Mould destroyed, manufacturer gone, reference discontinued: this is where we have no competition. A photograph, a set of dimensions or the broken part is enough to make it again. Short lead time, made in France. Workshop in Morsang-sur-Orge, near Paris. Firm quotation within 24 working hours, and every part inspected before dispatch. No tooling, no minimum order. Injection moulding needs a mould costing thousands of euros, paid back over tens of thousands of parts. Here there is no mould. One part costs one part. Order 1 unit or 500, the price hides no set-up fee.
Your part, to your dimensions. Send us your 3D file, a dimensioned drawing, a photograph, or simply the part to be copied: we reproduce it faithfully or adapt it, from a single unit, with no tooling cost at all. The images on this page show typical work and are not contractual.

M33 thread protection cap in PETG: temperature resistance 70 °C; will not survive repeated dishwasher cycles; other option, ABS if it gets hotter than 70 °C.
Another material is possible: tell us the real constraint (temperature, UV, impact, contact) and we will suggest one.
| Unit volume up to 350 × 350 × 350 mm |
| From 1 to several hundred parts |
| Usual tolerance ±0.3 mm, ±0.15 mm on request |

Tell us the real constraint — temperature, UV, contact with a product, load — and we change material. Twenty are available, from PLA to carbon-filled PPS.
Yes, and that is often the real benefit: thickening a rib that kept breaking, moving a hole, changing a diameter. On a mould, the same correction costs money and takes weeks.
No. A dimensioned drawing, a photograph taken square-on with a ruler beside the part, or the part itself sent by post is enough. We rebuild the geometry and submit the file to you before anything is made.
