Spout for boxed kitchen salt

This is a pretty silly little thing that solves a tiny annoyance that probably only I have…

Bulk kitchen salt around here(Denmark, maybe Europe?) comes in 1kg cardboard boxes. Back in the days these boxes used to have a super handy little adjustable spout which made one-handed pouring and dosing salt when cooking super easy. But for quite a few years now they only come in these god-awful boxes that just has a punch-out hole that is impossible to pour from. So, instead of doing the smart thing and getting some kind of new container to pour all the salt into, I decided to reinvent the spout for the stupid new boxes :P

The lid has holes in it so that in the closed position it works like a salt shaker for very precise dosing. And it has 3 small notches near the closed position to easily put it in a known “set” position for controlled pours. 

The spout comes in two parts, spout and lid. Both can be printed without support, with any infill setting, and no real special considerations. The lid just lies loose on top of the box in the grove on the spout. The flexible nature of the cardboard box requires the front of the spout to be sealed somehow, or salt will leak out after each pour. I originally planned to use a bit of soft foam tape below the spout, or alternative some double sided tape. But I couldn't find either of those around the house, so I simply rolled up a piece of scotch-tape into a little tube with the adhesive on the outside(see picture). Works well enough :P

When installing, only punch in the front semi-circle on the box. Lay the lid part on top of the box. Then put the two spikes on the spout into the punched in hole and twist the back down and over the edge of the box. Should securely stay on purely by friction.
