Can Safe

Can be safely used. The internal dimensions measure approximately 2.25 inches in diameter and about 7 inches deep (60 D x 180 mm), large enough to accommodate credit cards. I employed a "safety" can-opener to remove the bottom of this container. These devices allow you to replace either the top or bottom of a can, using it as a lid without sharp edges. My can opener is detailed in another project available for $6 at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3056479. Both the end-cap ring and internal ring were secured with hot melt glue. To achieve good results, precision is key. To ensure inconspicuous placement, the end-cap must be perfectly centered during assembly. These files can likely be scaled up or down to fit similar-sized containers. The diameter of your container's interior determines how much, if any, scaling will be required. I would print a small experimental ring to determine the necessary size. Then scale both the internal and external rings together, ensuring they remain a match for each other. On my Afinia H479, the printed pieces consumed 16 grams of ABS material, took 45 minutes to complete, and were built with 0.30mm layers, including a raft. Metric files are provided in case your software mistakenly assumes an inch equals a millimeter.
