[SML] S4 Lens tube "back cap" STL file available

[Dale Farmer]

They make pipe dust covers that are the right size.  Six inch I think, 
it's been a few years since I bought them, they come in boxes of 100, 
IIRC.  Plumbing supplies wholesalers have them. Use the 1.5 inch caps to 
protect the threads of lighting pipes in storage and transit.
   Before we discovered the plumbing dust caps we used pour through 
coffee filters to keep dust out of lens tubes.
