• Toolpath Pic 1: Turning/boring the inside (ID) of the cap + threading a M52*1mm
• Toolpath Pic 2: Turning/profiling the outside (OD). Made a quick fixture with a OD thread that fit the M52*1
• Toolpath Pic 3: Milling/drilling using a 8mm flat endmill then fininshing the floor using a bullnose 8MMR1 cutter
• Toolpath Pic 4: Milling/4axis, Multiaxis toolpath going around the clips.

Just needed to machine one fixture; the one you see (quick&dirty) holding onto the cap thread and clamped between the vice jaws in Pic 3.

Missing are pics of the Acetal turning operations for the adapter. Using the exact same procedures as Pic 1,2,3.

Just need to see this cap first We'll do this correctly onto the prod machines later (coming week let's hope).
