1 gallon pickle jar remix

thingiverse

I tried printing the jar lid by J speed, but it failed several times - it was an ambitious project as my second attempt at printing, using ABS plastic. A long story short, I got everything dialed in and the printer was printing perfectly, so I went to try again. However, it kept failing at the little insert notch intended for added strength; it would skip over it for a few layers before spitting out filament everywhere. The outer walls seemed too fat, but the flat top turned out well, if a bit thin for my taste. To fix this, I thickened it up, shrunk the walls, and made it slightly deeper to allow for an adequate silicone bead seal. I also enlarged the top layer by a tiny bit and adjusted the edge shape to create more gripping areas. Hopefully, this revised design will help someone who encounters similar issues when printing the original one.
