Parametric container with threaded lid and optional seal

The OpenSCAD file (Parametric_can+lid+seal.scad) allows to create customizable containers with threaded lid and optional:

• seal
• knurling on the lid
• text on the lid

The needed dimensions are specified in the attached pdf file (parametric_can+lid+seal-dimensions.pdf)

The seal is a tight fit, but is designed to create leakproof containers.

Additional libraries

The provided SCAD file needs two additional libraries:

• Nut Job library from mike_mattala (Nut_Job.scad needed): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:193647
• Chamfer library from SebiTimeWaster (Chamfer.scad needed): https://github.com/SebiTimeWaster/Chamfers-for-OpenSCAD

Additionally, the knurling is based on the library from M_D_K, but no files are needed: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3673637/files

Attention

• The "Preview" function of OpenSCAD does not always show the correct models, use the "Render" function
• Depending on the computer and the resolution settings, the "Render" can take some minutes

Examples

Can and lid were printed with different colors of PLA, the seal with TPU on a Creality Ender 3 Pro. All of them where leak-proofed and passed the test.

The files for the black container are added as an example:

• SCAD: Thread-Lid-Seal_Example.scad
• Can: example-can.stl
• Lid: example-lid.stl
• Seal: example-seal.stl
• Combined: example-can-lid-seal.stl
