Parametric Filter Lid

thingiverse

I was in need of a filter to sort the sizes of some sawdust that I was preparing to use for my train layout scenery so I came up with this design that fit on an applesauce jar. The inside of the TreeTop applesauce jars pop out so they become perfect containers for different scenery material. The diameter can be adjusted to fit other ring lids like Mason canning jars and I'm sure there are more options. From my initial testing of it it's best to use only small amounts of material in the jar when sifting. After sifting filling the jar and using it for distributing shouldn't be a problem. If you customize this post your settings in a comment so others can quickly make it work for a container that is available to them. Printed the filter as small as 1mm spacing but 1.5 seemed to work a lot better. Thanks.
