Hey Avid fam! Rather than purchase replacement dust caps for my HGR20 linear rail I decided to model and print my own. I’ve included the STL file here should anyone want to try them out. ~Bill~ ![IMG_6392.HEIC](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/avidcnc/original/2X/9/96c3146c9eb345ef9997c0773e038b696808330d.jpeg) ![IMG_6397.HEIC](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/avidcnc/original/2X/e/e6c6f5cbeb06656395f9c797a653c870e6c3b916.jpeg) ![IMG_6399.HEIC](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/avidcnc/original/2X/d/d4f0f1aa1941d3122446280cfa91fb0580c6abb6.jpeg) ![HGR20_Dust_Cap](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/avidcnc/original/2X/2/279bb026c371b6faa35a03b07dc5d29a9f320e81.jpeg) [HGR20\_Dust\_Cap.stl](https://forum.avidcnc.com/uploads/short-url/9SbEDmj10e5HUNrzQi5XZe1XfjF.stl) (635.6 KB) ---
