Parametric Snap-on Lid

prusaprinters

<p>This is a parametric push-fit lid, inspired by <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2808022">Bar Keepers Friend Cap</a>.</p> <p>I attempted to scale the aforementioned Thing to fit a cat food container, but it didn't work because in addition to scaling the lid surface, it also scales the lip.</p> <p>I realised I could use make a Thing that takes the dimensions of the container directly, and made this from scratch.</p> <p>Note that this requires a version of OpenSCAD &gt;= <a href="https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/2D_to_3D_Extrusion#Rotate_Extrude">2016.XX</a> so you will probably have to download and use one of the <a href="http://www.openscad.org/downloads.html#snapshots">development snapshots</a>.</p> <p>Instructions for use locally via OpenSCAD:</p> <ol> <li>use a ruler or set of calipers to measure the diameter of your container;</li> <li>download this thing, extract and open design.scad file in OpenSCAD;</li> <li>change the value of container_diameter;</li> <li>print</li> </ol> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Category: Organization</p>
