Simple, snappy, parametric containers.

 

I've seen some similar designs, but decided to create my own parametric jar with twist lock design (container will be needed in other parametric, more niche project). This twist lock is really simple, there is some math going on behind calculating jar/lid heights, tapers and clearances, no supports needed for printing.

 

Parameters:

  • SIZE : outer diameter of container, min 30-35mm with notch width set to 8mm
  • HEIGHT : height incl. lid
  • WALL_WIDTH : wall width, i print mine with 1.0 wall width, it makes containers light and fast to print on 0.4 nozzle
  • CLEARANCE : set by default to 0.4mm, +- 0.2mm change shouldn't break the model
  • Other parametrs may break the model, but if you want there are parameters for notch width/depth, jar “neck” offset, spacings etc.
