I made this model years ago, I cant remember if i was inspired by another model, but this one was made from scratch- full Fusion360 file provided so you can adjust as you see fit.
I recently updated this with a hole to accept a cheap hygrometer as can be found on AliExpress, Amazon, and other places- AliExpress is by far the cheapest, but Amazon is quick delivery.

The print is possible without supports, but will require a small bit of trimming of 5mm at the tail end of the threads (which are very unsupported!). This could probably be fixed by a little redesign, but this is a quick and dirty functional print that doesn't need to be too over-engineered!
In the past I have printed this on my MK3S+, and did use supports- they were a pain to remove! First time you thread the lid on, be careful to not over-stress the parts- and dont over-tighten the lid. Run the lid open and closed a few times and wipe away the dust/swarf created- a little rubbing with your finger will provide enough lubrication to make the threads work smoothly.
