Customizable Pringles Storage

If you find this project useful, I hope you click Like and upload some image of what you've printed. One thing that's always bugged me about 3D printing is not being able to print completely transparent pieces. Lately, I've been eating Pringles and noticed that the contents can be seen through the lid. That got me thinking - why not use a Pringles lid as a cover for my projects? It's a great way to recycle! Today, I'm presenting a simple project that's been super useful for me. You can create containers for all sorts of things like potatoes, batteries, drill bits, screws, rods, pills, and more using the Pringles lid as the top. The best part is that these containers are stackable, so you can pile them up without worrying about them falling over. In the `Storage.Pringles.scad.zip` file, you'll find a set of files to customize your project. Since there are too many dependencies to package into one file, I've kept them separate for ease of use. The main files you'll need are inside the `joaquinfq/openscad/Storage/Pringles` directory: - `batteries`: This module lets you print almost all types of cylindrical batteries. - `bits`: Use this to print containers for hexagonal drill bits - or feel free to modify the 2D shape for other uses! - `container`: The main module draws the empty container and includes some extra modules used by the other files. It also creates a lid, but I highly recommend using the Pringles lid instead. - `segments`: With this module, you can draw a container divided into radial segments. - `nozzles`: Check out these 3D Printer nozzles on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3615660 The code is well-commented, so if you have any questions, don't hesitate to leave a comment. Note: This project requires OpenSCAD 2016.X.X or newer.
