Ashtray airtight

thingiverse

A friend asked me to design a smokeless ashtray. I don't smoke, so I haven't tested the ashtray yet, but I think it should work fine. I designed the ashtray with PLA plastic in mind. To protect this heat-sensitive material from burning cigarettes, I put a simple metal can from green peas inside the ashtray. The can is made by Bonduelle and weighs 400 grams. Its dimensions are: diameter - 86mm, height - 85mm. The ashtray's dimensions are: diameter - 95mm, height - 99mm. The ashtray consists of three parts: body, ring, and lid. To print the body with support for the 'g' shape clamping that ensures a tight seal when closing the lid. You need to place an empty can inside the body (I bent the sharp edges inward so you don't cut yourself while cleaning the ashtray), then insert and glue the ring (with its wide side up). After that, you need to insert the lid into the grooves on the body and also glue it (you must ensure a smooth and tight fit between the lid and the body). To open the lid, press gently on the spot slightly to the left of the 'g' shape clamping. To close it, turn the lid in the opposite direction until it clicks into place under the 'g' shape clamping.
