This container comes in 2 different heights, one ~100mm the other ~60mm.  The lid is held in place partly by slots on the body and through a small amount of friction - a good balance between keeping things inside and being able to get open pretty easily.

The tops can be interchanged between the two sizes allowing for some interesting custom designs.

Printing the container body:

  • Consider supports, should just be 2 minor ones at the top to support the piece that over hangs the cap

Printing the cap:

  1. Pick an infill pattern at ~10% or more
  2. Set the top layers to 0 in your slicer so the pattern is exposed

Printing the cap in this way will not only make it look visually appealing, but you could use it to indicate what's stored inside without the need for a label (if you're printing multiple)

Containers are reasonably stackable if needed, but that wasn't the intent. I'll likely revise this over time
