Tube cap and roller axle factory
With this code you can create tube caps and roller axles of various sizes, number of edges and shapes, based on parameters you may change. CAD or programming knowlege is not necessary. The output can be 3D STL files you can send to a 3D printer. To be able to work with the code, you need to install OpenScad, which is Open source software you can use for free: https://openscad.org
Many parameters are taken as percentage values to
ease the configuration. So not too much attention needs to be taken to
parametrize the parts. In most cases the resulting parts are still sensful if
the obvious size relations remain reasonable.

I recommed to use the OpenScad Customizer to set up your Thing
Tipp: If the meander type expanding ring (tenon) is too weak and breaks, you may select the oneslot option get around this.
