Versatile. Customizable. Easy to print.

This model is a parametric lid generator designed to fit a wide variety of containers: cans, jars, tins for pet food, soft drinks, beer, vegetables, and much more.

To generate the lid that best suits your needs, simply input the following parameters:

• Lid diameter: corresponds to the outer diameter of your container.
• Locking rim width: defines the radial width (e.g. 2 mm) inside the lid where the protruding edge of the can or jar fits in to ensure a secure grip.
• Lid thickness (New parameter): corresponds to the thickness of the top part of the lid. Warning: The value must be negative (e.g., -2 mm)
• Snap-fit rim height (New parameter): corresponds to the height of the interlocking rim. Warning: The value must be negative (e.g., -3 mm)
• Tolerance (optional): an additional margin added to the diameter to help with fitting, especially when exact measurements are not available or if your printer has slight dimensional deviations.

The lid can be printed with or without a pull tab.
