Lid for metal cans (0,5L & 0,33L) - for your emblem

A lid for 0.5-liter and 0.33-liter beverage cans that prevents insects from getting into the can.

On most cans, the lid snaps into place and won’t open on its own—this feature has proven useful in my car because it prevents spills. However, the lid isn’t completely watertight.

The lid now has a slot with a lock for inserting a cover with your own image. - it’s very easy to create images using the coasters in the Printables database. Just adjust the dimensions in the slicer according to the instructions. On a solid lid without a logo, you can have text (such as your children's names, etc.) printed directly on the slicer. You can have multiple covers and swap them out as needed.

Example: For greater strength, print the lid frame from PETG, and for better detail, print the logo from PLA—then assemble them.

You can find the base templates at the link below. You can find the finished templates with logos at the same link in the Remix section

Instructions:

You can create this cap, for example, by placing a coaster on the slicer’s build plate alongside a pre-made cap and adjusting its dimensions to fit the pre-cut slot in the cap:

- for a 0.2mm nozzle: diameter 46, height 0.42 - expected layer height is: first layer 0.1, subsequent layers 0.14

- for a 0.4mm nozzle: diameter 46, height 0.60 - expected layer height is: first layer 0.2, subsequent layers 0.2

then place the cover in the center of the plate. In the next step, place your logo in the center of the plate as well

Next step: send it to slice—everything should be properly assembled and ready to print

Assembly:

Insert the lids into the frame and turn them—they should snap into place. The model is designed with a tolerance of 0.1 mm.

- Due to variations in printer tolerances, you may need to adjust the frame or lid by trimming the edges slightly.

- It is also possible to print the lid with a small percentage reduction along the X and Y axes.

I modified the lid to make it easier to print. The hole for the pin was enlarged to reduce layer adhesion in the pin—some older printers had trouble with this. Now the lid moves much more freely and is easier to operate. I also slightly reinforced the pin in one section—when printing with certain filaments, the pin tended to crack. That no longer happens

I increased the opening angle—this should prevent the tab from breaking if you accidentally bump into the cap (it’s also easier for me to drink from the can because the cap isn’t right in front of my face).

During the modification, I removed the hidden logo.
