Parametric Threaded Container – Customize It!
Stop searching for the perfect container — just print it. This fully parametric model lets you design exactly the box you need: the right size, the right closure, the right look. A pill box for your bag, a parts organizer for your workshop, a token tube for your favorite board game, a travel container for your next adventure. Whatever you need to store, this container can be shaped to fit it perfectly.
The screw-top lid closes securely and reopens smoothly every time. No loose lids, no rattling parts. Just a clean, solid, satisfying click when it locks in place.
Two closure styles — choose what works best for you
Continuous thread works just like a classic screw cap: rotate the lid several turns to open or close. Ideal when a rock-solid, airtight seal is the priority — think pills, spices, or anything you don’t want spilling in your bag.
Quick closure uses multiple short helical segments so the lid locks with just a short push-and-twist — typically less than a quarter turn. Perfect when you open and close the container frequently and want to do it in one quick motion.
Make it yours — decoration options
The lid is a canvas. You can engrave any emoji directly into the surface, or use the Flush color mode to fill the recess with a second filament color for a sharp, professional inlay effect. Add up to two lines of circular text — one arcing over the top, one curving along the bottom — each with its own font, size, spacing and position. Use it to label what’s inside, add a personal message, or give the container a custom identity.
Parameters explained
Main parameters
| Parameter | What it does |
| container_height | Usable interior height in mm (20–200). This is the space available inside, not the total printed height. |
| inner_diameter | Usable interior diameter in mm (20–200). Sets how wide the inside of the container is. |
| inner_divisions | Number of internal compartments. 1 = open space, no dividers. 2 = two halves. Up to 6 equal pie-slice sections. |
| grip_texture | Adds vertical grip grooves for easier opening. Apply to the Lid, the Container body, Both, or None. |
| emoji_enable | Turns the emoji decoration on or off. |
| emoji | The emoji character to engrave on the lid top. Any emoji supported by the Noto Emoji font works. |
| emoji_size | Size of the emoji in mm (6–50). |
| emoji_style | Engraved: recessed mark in the lid material. Flush color: the recess is filled with a colored inlay — works best with an AMS or similar multi-material system. |
| top_text | Text curved along the upper arc of the lid. Leave empty to disable. |
| top_text_font | Font for the upper circular text. Supports any font available in OpenSCAD / MakerWorld. |
| top_text_size | Letter height in mm for the upper text (2–12). |
| bottom_text | Text curved along the lower arc of the lid. Leave empty to disable. |
| bottom_text_font | Font for the lower circular text. |
| bottom_text_size | Letter height in mm for the lower text (2–12). |
| top_text_margin | Distance in mm between the lid edge and the outer side of the text. Controls how close the text sits to the rim. Applies to both arcs. |
Container – Advanced
| Parameter | What it does |
| container_wall | Thickness of the container walls and bottom in mm (1.2–5). Thicker walls = stronger container, heavier print. |
| inner_bottom_radius | Radius of the rounded fillet at the inside bottom corner (0–20). A larger value makes the bottom more bowl-shaped, helping small objects slide out instead of catching in the corner. Set to 0 for a sharp flat bottom. |
| inner_divider_wall | Thickness of the internal divider walls in mm (0.8–4). |
| container_color | Preview color for the container body. Matches Bambu Lab PLA filament names for an accurate preview in MakerWorld. |
| flush_body_with_lid | When enabled, the container body diameter matches the outer diameter of the lid, giving a clean uniform silhouette. When disabled, the body is narrower and only the threaded neck reaches lid width. |
Lid – Advanced
| Parameter | What it does |
| lid_height | Total height of the lid in mm (8–50). Must be tall enough to accommodate the thread zone. |
| lid_wall | Thickness of the lid top and side walls in mm (1.2–5). |
| lid_color | Preview color for the lid. |
Thread – Advanced
| Parameter | What it does |
| thread_style | Selects between Continuous (classic multi-turn screw) and Quick (short push-and-twist). |
| thread_height | Height of the threaded zone in mm (6–50). Taller = more thread engagement = stronger grip. The lid height must be at least this tall. |
| thread_depth | Radial depth of the thread profile in mm (0.6–2). Deeper threads grip better but need a well-calibrated printer. |
| fit_clearance | Radial gap between the container neck and the lid bore (0.10–0.8 mm). Increase if the lid feels tight; decrease if it wobbles. Start with the default and adjust by 0.05 mm steps. |
| thread_groove_clearance | Extra clearance inside the lid thread groove (0.05–0.5 mm). Helps the thread mesh smoothly without binding. |
| thread_flank_angle | Angle of the thread flanks in degrees (30–55). 45° is the recommended default — it avoids unsupported overhangs that are hard to print without supports. |
| thread_crest_flat | Truncates the thread tip to create a small flat crest (0–0.6 mm). Flatter crests are easier to print and reduce the risk of stringing at the tip. |
| thread_pitch | Distance between thread turns in mm (2–6). Only used by the Continuous closure. Larger pitch = coarser thread, fewer turns to open. |
| quick_thread_starts | Number of independent thread segments for the Quick closure (2–6). More starts = shorter twist to close, but less engagement per start. |
| quick_thread_arc | Angular sweep of each Quick thread segment in degrees (60–360). 180° means each segment spirals half a turn. Shorter arc = faster close, less grip. |
| quick_thread_margin | Empty space at the top and bottom of the Quick thread zone in mm (0–3). Keeps threads away from the edges for cleaner geometry. |
Grip Texture – Advanced
| Parameter | What it does |
| grip_rib_count | Number of grip grooves around the circumference (12–96). More ribs = finer texture. |
| grip_rib_depth | Radial depth of each groove in mm (0.2–1.2). Deeper grooves are easier to grip but more visible. |
| grip_rib_width | Tangential width of each groove in mm (0.4–3). Wider grooves leave less material between them. |
| grip_margin | Empty margin at the top and bottom of the textured zone in mm (0–3). Keeps the grip away from edges. |
Emoji – Advanced
| Parameter | What it does |
| emoji_depth | Engraving depth for the emoji in mm (0.2–1.2). Deeper = more visible recess. |
| emoji_x / emoji_y | Fine horizontal and vertical adjustment of the emoji center position in mm. Useful for emojis that render slightly off-center depending on the font. |
| emoji_color | Preview color for the emoji inlay (Flush color mode only). |
Top / Bottom Circular Text – Advanced
| Parameter | What it does |
| top_text_spacing | Letter spacing multiplier (0.6–1.6). 1.0 = natural spacing. Increase to spread letters further apart along the arc. |
| top_text_style | Engraved or Flush color — same logic as the emoji style. |
| top_text_depth | Engraving depth for the upper text in mm (0.2–1.2). |
| top_text_angle | Center angle of the upper text arc in degrees (0–355). 90° places the text at the top of the lid as viewed from above. |
| top_text_color | Preview color for the upper text inlay. |
| bottom_text_spacing | Letter spacing multiplier for the lower arc text. |
| bottom_text_style | Engraved or Flush color for the lower arc text. |
| bottom_text_depth | Engraving depth for the lower text in mm. |
| bottom_text_angle | Center angle of the lower text arc. 270° places it at the bottom of the lid. |
| bottom_text_color | Preview color for the lower text inlay. |
Print notes
- No supports needed.
- Recommended layer height: 0.2 mm, nozzle: 0.4 mm.
- For Flush color decoration (emoji or text inlays), a second filament color is printed into the engraved recesses. This works best with an automatic filament changer such as a Bambu Lab AMS or similar multi-material system, which handles the color swap seamlessly. You can also do it manually by adding a filament change pause in your slicer at the right layer, but an AMS makes the process effortless — especially if the inlay is thin.
- Optimized for Bambu Lab printers and MakerWorld — preview colors are mapped directly to Bambu Lab PLA filament names, so what you see in the customizer matches your actual filament.
