Original: [Xacto Knife Cap](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4811075) by [TheSlyMurloc](https://www.thingiverse.com/TheSlyMurloc)
A slightly tweaked version of TheSlyMurloc's design. My gripster holds a 11mm blade but the shaft is just a little wider than the original design. I also added some heatsthrink to the split-end of the shaft and flipped it over to actually provide grip. So I needed to widen out the entrance by a 1mm.
I also noticed that the original print was very fragile and prone to snapping, leaving the point exposed! I tied heat shrinking the cover and melted the whole thing (yay PLA). I flipped its orientation horizontally, ensuring the split in the cap to be oriented up, to prevent any overhang issues.
The result is a much sturdier print and an even better lockup with the cap thanks to the heatshrink!
