Holes in bike frames for cable routing

My new bike frame has a few holes which were for cable routing (gear cable and dropper post cable) but as these are not required (SRAM AXS gear changing and Fox wireless dropper) so what can I use to fill the holes?

 

Thanks

My old Jeffsy came with something similar in holes for a shock remote cable that wasn't needed

If it’s for your Santa Cruz, ask them for some, I got some for my 2014 5010, or the dropper port anyway.

Got a 3D printer and an spare afternoon? I’d probably be knocking up some bungs out of PLA.

Often the manufacturers will include various plugs with frames & bikes, might be worth asking them if yours didn't come with any.
