Description
This is customizable, parametric, model for a cylindrical container that has a quarter-turn* locking lid. Here are the features you can customize:
Here's how you can tell if the lid is locked or not. It has a satisfying “click” but I've also included some icons so you can visually see if it's locked or not:
I've included a bunch of print profiles of some of my prototypes and test prints, but the real benefit is being able to customize it to fit your needs.
When you bring your customized model into the slicer, you'll probably need to take a couple simple steps for best results:
Step 1: Split the model into objects. Right click on the model and select “Split > To Objects” (as shown below)
Step 2: Auto-arrange the parts so they fit on the build plate(s). Click on the “Arrange All Objects” button at the top and select “Arrange” (as shown below).
Step 3: Slice and print!
*It's actually a little less than a quarter-turn, sorry.
