Spin Box

I recently made a container for my angle grinder cutoff wheels ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4807672 ), and was intrigued by the design of a container with the thread on a post in the middle.

Being wide and flat, these are good small-parts containers, and unlike if the thread was around the edge, the lids are easy to thread on/off without having to align anything.

These containers are in all the common sizes for angle grinder discs, but there are also variants with six internal compartments for storing bolts/screws or other miscellaneous items.

Supports not required, and the thread is chunky enough that it prints fine without needing accurate printing (I was trying a new filament and it drooped all over the show and the lid still went on great!).

There are quite a few "body" variations in terms of depths and internal-partitions, but there is only a single lid for each diameter: ie the 115x40 lid will work for the 115x20 body, the 115x60 body and the 115x60_dividers body.

This was made in blender. Source files available on github here: https://github.com/sdfgeoff/angle_grinder_disc_container The blend file is rigged with some drivers, so making a custom diameter/depth is just a case of twiddling some numbers in the "Parameters" object
