I redesigned from scratch my favourite silica container by Malolo.

I loved absolutely everything about it, except that it prints a little slow. I used horizontal slots so that it prints much faster with less retractions and hops. In 0,3mm layer height, it saves around an hour of print time and a couple grams of filament. (1,5 hours versus 2,5)

It is also my first time using dans98's custom Fusion 360 threads for FDM printing, which gives nice presets for thread angles that suit FDM printing and easy to understand clearances. I recommend checking it out!

I made only the 50x50 as it is the one I use the most, but various sizes would be easy to adjust.
