Parametric Can lid

I made this to cover remainders of cat can food. I uploaded the openscad code, so you can adjust it to your needs. Most important, adjust the code to fit your can diameter (70 mm works fine for small cat food cans like pro-plan focus) and the label of the lid (like your pet's name, replace "Ramoncito" with the name of your pet or the food you want to cover, for example).

Open with (free) openscad, edit to fit your needs and save as STL.

Don't print directly the STL file unless your cat's name is the same as mine.

Use TPU for printing!

EDIT: I made a much better version ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4798922/files ). The new one doesn't need supports, uses less material and fits better.

Notes:

I highly recommend using TPU for flexibility. I tried PLA and ABS without success, as the lid was too rigid.

How I Designed This

Its basically a number of openscad cylinders subtracted from each other and the label is a text extrusion.

It was my first approach to 3D design and openscad.
