I should have printed at less than .3 to get the threads to work better, but the cap is now stuck on. It will work.

the lid is nigh impossible to get all the way on but it sure wont come off easy anyways so im happy with my result (my printer likely needs to be calibrated but that has not happened yet)
eSun transparent in 0.25 layer height. Wanted to be able to look inside and admire how many sharps i'd accumulated within,
Couldn't screw the lid all the way down even with some lube on the threads. In hindsight probably should've printed the lid at 101% scale. Otherwise though, great design! (edited)
Printed using Azure and Galaxy Purple Prusament PLA. Was able to thread it most of the way on without scaling the lid up, but it required working it in a little. Large enough to handle utility knife blades with no worry!
It's perfect! Just what I need. I upscaled the lid 101% or roughly 0.1mm and it works very well as I intend to open it quite alot as I am sharpening the xacto blades myself but I just needed some place to out them temporarily.
Thank you for the design
@Visthum Dude that's awesome! I'm really glad it helped, thanks for letting me know!
Did not have much luck with this. I printed it at 0.3mm layer height, but that resulted in the thinnest parts of the thread in the lid being just two filament lines thick, which combined with the very tight fit made the whole lid tear apart into a slinky when I tried to assemble it. I will make a new try with a smaller layer height and see if it works better. But I suggest adding more material to the circumference around the outside to bulk it up a bit. (edited)
@ljhms I reprinted the lid with 0.25mm layer height as recommended in the description. It hasn't torn apart yet, but it got stuck after just one thread when I screw it on. Maybe it's because the threads aren't smooth enough in the bottom half, since it's still at 0.3mm layer height. But no matter, I sadly can't recommend this model until these issues are fixed.
@ljhms Update: Took me a while to get to try it out, but gripping the lid with a bench vise and then twisting the bottom with my hands, I managed to get it screwed on. I doubt I will ever open it, but maybe that is a feature and not a bug, considering the contents. I will revise my rating :)
Prints nicely, I use it to hold razor blades. Threads would be a bit too tight for a container that you intend to open, but for the intended use its absolutely ok.
