Description

This started as a simple screwtop container, but grew in complexity as I decided I wanted more from it. You can add holes in the lid, add a label in the holes, and add inlaid text to the lid. There are a lot of customisable parameters, especially for the holes, but the labels and instructions in the script explain what's what. Add holes to the lid so it's breathable e.g. for drying and storing seeds. Add a rectangular label to cover some holes so you can still write in the lid. Add up to three layers of text on the lid whether or not there are holes in the lid or a label over the holes. If using text: the lid is engraved with the text and it is also rendered offset from the lid so it's not fused and subsumed when rendering. When you import into your slicer, split to objects and let the lid settle onto the text. That way, you'll get the full depth of text layers when printing. You can also delete the rendered text and just leave the engraving in the lid. Consider your printer capabilities when setting tolerances. Don't forget to turn the lid text preview off before rendering for print. Text and holes produce a lot of vertices and large files.
