Background story

In my old thermos the cap's sealer broke into three pieces:

So I reverse engineered the cap's sealer in FreeCad.

The initial MK1 model has been designed exactly as the original sealer, but it was not rigid enough at the bottom part, so the MK2 has been made.

 

UPDATE

Tested with PLA PRO, but still after using boiling water the cap's sealer deform.
