Description
I wanted to make a locking twist mechanism so here's a small pocket-sized container/canister that you can use to store small items, candies, or whathaveyou. Feel free to copy the twist-and-lock mechanism.
The internal volume is about 84mL.
It's a little less than 3.5" diameter and 20mm thick, so hand or travel sized, or maybe pocket sized for some of you.
Your tolerances need to be pretty accurate for the mechanism to have a satisfying ‘clunk’ to lock in without being too tight. Should feel pretty good after 2-3 cycles.
Printing with supported will help the small nubs in the lid as well as the overhang for the nub slot.
