And not only do I mean a 3d-pprinter I have cheap enough access to could not print usable threads I couldn't design matching threads. Also, I plan that any "hack" I use can be taken off without damage to the pen unless it works as well and looks better that a normal blind cap

A replacement blind cap would run about 10 US for a cedar 51. I would think replacement is the easy way to go.

But not as much fun. You could find your pen in a dark room if you 3-D printed a cap in glow in the dark material: http://www.argylemat...olume-56-cu-in/

One test is worth a thousand expert opinions.

I'm doing more for the fun of making my own blind cap. I could buy a cap but it would be more interesting to make my own, plus the one I have still works so I don't really have to buy another cap anyways

That sounds like fun... could be printed in nylon or PET or ABS
I dont know how a blind cap looks like though If you design it, I will print it for you and ship it to you
