Description

Film can inspired mini containers.  

The height from bottom to the stacking surface should be about 25mm for the half height ones. 

M24 version:

The inner space is 18.6mm around

The threading on the male side is 3.5mm long, and is an M24 standard metric screw.  It prints without support or cleanup.  Print the lid upside down, you may want a tiny bit of support for a nicer top if your printer doesn't bridge well.

M30 version:

The inner space is 22mm around.

The threading on the male side is 4mm long, and is an M30 standard metric screw.  It prints without support or cleanup.  Print the lid upside down, you may want a tiny bit of support for a nicer top if your printer doesn't bridge well.

Closer match to the old film cans on the outside, can not fit US quarters inside.

 

M33 Version 

Heights are the same but the thread is M33, and the threads extend a bit farther down.

Can fit quarters inside, the inner space is about 26.4mm diameter.  I suspect these ones might wind up being the more popular ones.
