FX Does anyone sell a bottle adapter screw on cap ....

[gtburgin]

I have a Panthera Compact Hunter set up for 2 bottles but sometimes want to quickly use just one bottle
and I dont want to have to uninstall a bottle adapter and replace with a plug. Is there some
sort of screw on cap that could be screwed onto a bottle adapter to seal it? This would be
more convenient than to having to remove the bottle adapter and replace with a plug.

Sounds like a good idea for one of our 3D printer members?

Upon further reflection it's not that great of an idea. Even if you had such a screw on cap, if you have two pressurized bottles installed and remove one, you'll lose quite a bit of air from the remaining bottle before you can get the cap screwed on to the adapter which would be spewing air at a high rate. A much better solution would be to redesign the bottle ports to provide a shutoff control. Probably not high on FX's development list.
