Baked Bean / Canned Food Tin Stash Can

A storage container in the form of a replica canned food tin, with a twist lock ¼ turn base.

Perfect for hiding your valuables in, or perhaps easter chocolates for an Easter egg hunt. 

For added realism, peel or soak off in warm water the label off a food tin of your choosing and fix it to the print. The last photo above is of the model (left) next to a real canned food tin (right).

The opening is a little over 61mm in diameter. The internal space with the lid fitted is a just over 88mm in height. The internal volume is approximately 31cl.

The can prints in three parts (the can body, twist lock base and ring pull). Print profiles are attached for the Bambu A1 (one plate) and A1 mini (three plates), with the max outer wall and top surface speeds set to 50mm/s. The parts are orientated and have painted seams. Supports are applied to the can and ring pull. They are entirely optional on the twist lock base - the bridging looks a little rough without, but its hidden when fitted. Some long nose plyers may be required to remove the ends of the supports on the top surface inside the can body.

The ring pull is orientated on its side - in order to give the best surface when fitted - and hence, needs a brim. Installation is via a press fit. I recommend not supergluing it in place if possible - if it snaps in due to curious busy fingers, it will be difficult to replace.

With limited prior experience of printing in PLA Silk, my experience with this model (and the internet) indicates that its near impossible to achieve as glossy a finish on top surfaces as on the sides. I found that a Monotonic Line top surface pattern and internal solid infill pattern gave reasonable results, as set in the profiles.

I printed the model in the photos using Bambu PLA Silk+ Silver.

This model is my own original work.
