I tried other caulk tube plugs on Thingiverse, but they didn't seal as well as I'd like. So, I decided to try my hand as an OpenJSCAD design. For my first try, it worked so/so. Including the JSCAD file if someone wants to improve it.
It is specifically designed for a tip cut at a 45 degree angle. Theoretically it will snap in and seal tightly. I say theoretically because my first use of one, it still didn't align perfectly. But it was much better than a simple cone plug.
Update: Version 2 works much better. I redesigned it so it snaps in place very snugly. Also changed the base to something easy to push and pull. I also re-coded so all of the parameters are configurable in the jscad. The version 2 plug is designed for a 40 degree angle, as that seems to be what I end up cutting in my tubes.
The caulk_tube_plug_v2 is a bit small. Works fine for standard tubes of caulk, silicone, etc. If you are using on bigger tubes (or you are cutting further up the tip of the t
