Description
I had previously re-mixed some dog scent training capsules that had a magnetic base - https://www.printables.com/model/936563-magnetic-dog-scent-training-capsule
My daughter wanted to use the capsules with a cheap rubber safety non-slip mat (either on the ground or hanging from a wall). Â The magnetic capsules have vent holes in the side of the capsule which made them unsuitable for this application. Â
She purchased the safety mat from Bunnings (popular hardware store in Australia). https://www.bunnings.com.au/matpro-80cm-x-120cm-black-safety-cushion-mat_p4490351
I designed some new capsules in Onshape that both neatly fitted the circular holes in the mat, and were vented through the lid rather than the body.
I've included two versions of the capsule - a standard 1.5mm pitch thread and a coarser 3mm pitch thread.  The standard version has a good thread feel - but takes a while to screw the lid on, whereas the coarse version is quick to screw on - but doesn't feel as ‘smooth’.  Those who tinker with settings may be able to rid the coarse version of its rougher thread action ‘feel’.
I've included STEP files of all the models for those who want to tinker with the design for their own situations. Â The Onshape design model is also available for this who want to tinker here:
