Parametric Snap-on Lid

This is a parametric push-fit lid, inspired by Bar Keepers Friend Cap.

I attempted to scale the aforementioned Thing to fit a cat food container, but it didn't work because in addition to scaling the lid surface, it also scales the lip.

I realised I could use make a Thing that takes the dimensions of the container directly, and made this from scratch.

Note that this requires a version of OpenSCAD >= 2016.XX so you will probably have to download and use one of the development snapshots.

Instructions for use locally via OpenSCAD:

1. use a ruler or set of calipers to measure the diameter of your container;
2. download this thing, extract and open design.scad file in OpenSCAD;
3. change the value of container_diameter;
4. print
