A 3D-Printable can with a screw on lid. Lid comes in two flavours: Smooth and Grip, grip has knurling, smooth does not.
Like real cans these are stackable and may fit with other ‘real’ cans, though they vary quite a bit.
Note: Threads on lid have been scaled down by 2% for tolerance, scaling down further may be necessary if your tolerance is poor.
For printing the lid I would recommend orienting the threads to be printed on the bed, as opposed to the smooth top as supports make it ugly and the bottom doesn’t matter. The threads printed fine on my POS printer they should for you (hopefully).
The main body should maybe be printed with the bottom on top so like the lid the outside surfaces looks nice. I have yet to test this as it’s a 7hr print and I can’t be bothered.
