This is an alternate lid for the Interlocking Sorting Cups (Hex Shape) - Version 2. 

The model is unchanged, except for a custom modifier shape added in the Prusa Slicer that removes the top and bottom solid layers from the central section of the lid.

Change the infill density, pattern, and angle to customize the look of your lid.

There are standard (plain infill) and “Outline” versions of the lid. The Outline version has the infill pattern as an outline around a solid centre section. I thought it looked cool, could be a neat place to put a label if you wanted, and offers more strength than a full infill lid.

The default settings at download is 30% density, Honeycomb pattern at 90 degree angle to match the orientation of the lid.

Very useful if you want to store extremely small objects in the containers and the original openings of the See Through lid are too big for your components or if you simply want to change up the look of your lids.

Warning: Pattern type and density may affect strength of lid, especially for larger parts. 

 

Inspired by SpeakingOfBrad's make.

Note: I am unsure if the modifier works in slicers other than Prusa Slicer as some settings will carry over with the .3mf file to other programs and some will not. 

Note 2: The 3D previews on both Printables and the Prusa Mini screen are not able to show the effect of modifiers on the models, so the previews do not show the perforations in the lid. Models should still print correctly (as shown in the Slicer) regardless of this preview issue.
