Parametric Tin Lid

thingiverse

Since creation, I've revisited this model, rebuilding it from scratch to make http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1336676. Please review both before choosing the right one for your needs. I've seen a few tin lids, but no pictures of them in use and no precise idea of their size, so here we are. Unfortunately, my unheated bed can't keep hold of this while printing. I'll figure it out, but meantime, I thought I'd release this. If you think it needs tweaking, let me know. The one example I did print (badly) in PLA wasn't pliable enough to fit over the top of the tin it was measured for. I suspect this would work much better with flexible filament. In theory, the lid diameter you need in the customizer is the measured width of the top of your can. You might want to add a little if, like me, you know your printer doesn't print precisely to the sizes you give it. If you do customize this, print and have success, please post a picture and name the customized object for the tin you're trying to fit. Something like UK Baked Beans or Cat Food Applaws Small. Have fun!
