SMALL RAMEKIN LIDS 3D print model

To streamline the process of adding flavor to our cooking, we have always kept three compact containers next to our stovetop filled with our go-to seasonings. Given how frequently we cook and use them daily, we've come up with creative solutions like these covers to keep them safely stored. We find it enjoyable to use them; hopefully, you will too. Our storage set includes three identical tops - SALT, PEPPER, and GARLIC - as well as a printable stand (more details below). Small variations can be observed in the design of each cap since they were developed separately over time with slightly different techniques. The Ramekin we use for storage varies in size from ours, thus our covers have adjusted dimensions. Your ramekins may also differ in sizes and so would the cover's design, hence we include scaling information. You can resize these models using TurboCAD by entering the new measurements or specify percentages for easier modification; you'll likely have similar capabilities with your own software. Our model's key measurements, along with our current Ramekin size, are listed below for clarity and future adjustments: | | SALT | PEPPER | GARLIC | |:-------|-------------|:--------------|----------| | **RAMEKIN OD**| 2.46” | 2.65”| 2.35” | **LID ID** | 2.48” | 2.73”| 2.36” | **LID OD** | 2.71”| 2.94”| 2.52”| For Successful Printing: When working with FDM printers and attempting to create 3D objects, there can be a problem related to how you'll position your model for a print requiring minimal support removal. Without specialized powder-bed 3D printer technology or exceptional bridging capabilities in standard machines, the process gets complicated – either top-up placement leads to needlessly excessive supports, while the bottom-side printing might produce less optimal results due to uneven face contact with the build plate. Even positioning them upright creates similar support challenges and necessitates adjustments for improved adhesion. Due to my limitations using UpBox+, I designed an experimental printing support stand. A standalone model in its print render displays how it works separately, but a version connected to one of our caps is shown alongside. Our current attachment detail view illustrates that this unique tapered connection between the upper contact edge and lower base results in clean cuts upon post-print handling - all thanks to snipping those off; I continue working on refining this stand for future printing versions, focusing specifically at 45° angles as the goal with additional enhancements. It's an iterative process so bear in mind it may be something you'd find helpful if considering modifying or designing entirely.
