Plastic plugs and caps

[DPittman]

Does anyone know of a supplier of plastic caps and caps that can be used on the ends of square and round tubing. I've seen various suppliers on the web for the items but they are for users of huge quantities. I'd like to find somewhere where I could by a few dozen of various sizes and shapes at reasonable prices.

Oh by gosh I would not ever have guessed that they would have much. I will check them out next time.

Someone said that casterland was once a good source for them but made it sound like that was no longer an option....i guess I need to look further into that one also.

Oh my I'm embarrassed...I read the first few messages of that post when it came out but got distracted and didn't follow it to the end and so missed that information.

Haha no worries. Thought I'd mention just in case.
My family seems to be hinting of similar 'trend' - "did you not like the same answer I gave you yesterday"'? LOL

If you have access to a 3-d printer, it's pretty easy to whip up a drawing and print them out. I've made some and thy work pretty well so long as you are ok with rigid plastic caps. I suppose you could also use some kind of flexible filament but I haven't tried that.

Ya unfortunately 3D printing is in another world for me...and one that I'm unlikely to venture into. Yet I have another project (odd ball plastic threaded cap) that would be perfect for a 3D printer. Oh well. It appears the square end caps are readily available but I just nee to find them at a price and quantity that I'm ok with...
