First time I've made an hinge. It uses filament as pin to secure the lid. 

The storage container almost fits one bag of gevalia grinded coffee and it's  very solid design, it's stiff enough in its construction not to feel flimsy but it rather feels like a store bought one. 

Designed with 0.6mm nozzle in mind, the wall thickness is 1.4mm and with 0.6 nozzle it uses 2 perimeters for the walls and takes 7h to print everything at 0.24 layer height. 

Of course 0.4mm nozzle also works but will take longer to print, approx 10-11h. 

The holes on the hinge might need some fine polishing, maybe you need to drill them out a little or just use a knife to carve them out to get a perfect fit. I only had to do this for the hinge on the body because 0.24 LH makes the top of the hole flat. 

The lid closes very snuggly and with confidence, still coffee powder could escape If you shake it enough so it's not 100% air tight. 

Very simple to print, no support and no fiddling.
