Updated 16 Nov 2024 - inlude chamfer option
Updated 27 Nov 2024 - Smooth Sides option
I was looking for a parametric round container with a screw lid. Couldn't find anything on Printables but found an excellent design over at Thingiverse.
It was part English and part German so I did some English to German translation .
Using OpenSCAD
download OpenSCAD https://openscad.org/downloads.html Note: scroll down and download a developer snapshot, the 2021 version will not work.
open the .scad file
make any changes you need
Use F5 to preview the model or via the menu Design/Preview
Once you are happy with the model use F6 to Render the model or via the menu Design/Render
Use F7 to Export the STL or via the menu File/Export/STL
You can find shortcuts for preview, render and STL on the menu bar
Customising the Model
Set the width e.g. Inner_Width_Base = 120;
Set the height e.g. Inner_Height_Base = 32;
Set a Chamfer e.g. chamfer_lid = 3; chamfer_base = 3;
Choose if you want Smooth sides e.g. smooth_sides = 0; // [0:no, 1:yes]
There's a bunch of other options to tweak the thread etc. So far I have not needed to change those.
Errors
You need a recent version of OopenSCAD the defailt 2021 version doesn't work, scroll down the downloads page and get a recent developer snapshot version.
If you choose to create both the cap and body with this option:
part_to_print = 0; // [0:all, 1:Base, 2:Lid]
You may get this message. You can ignore it.
