Standing up bolts cover caps
Ive been seeing people trying different ways to cover up the bolts to make them not rub away at clothing and tpe around them, i had an idea while walking around my local wickes (diy store) bolt caps !
I know the colours are not great buy anyone with a 3d printer can print of colours that match the doll skin tone.
Has anyone tried this ?

They are printed in a flesh colored ABS plastic. Designed for the typcial M6 button head foot screws (approx. 10mm screw head diam.).

A question: Does this in any way make the doll less stable, when standing?

Re: Standing up bolts cover caps
I don't have a TPE doll myself.
The caps I make are designed to swivel a little on the screws so the flat bottom stays flat on the floor with different foot positions.

Re: Standing up bolts cover caps
I would definitely recommend them for anyone with standing feet option. Until some Manufacture comes up with a standing feet option that doesn't use the screw bolts I think this is the only way to go.

The caps need to be made from a tough but resilient material.hangman2020 wrote:that is a shame would be nice if the factor could add rubber caps to the bolts before shipping.
Rubber would be damaged from the pressure with the first standing. ABS plastic works well - nylon would also be a good material.
