Parametric Twist-Lock Cylinder Container
A heavy-duty, tactile twist-locking canister engineered with dual-bayonet locking lugs. Perfect for waterproof pill cases, travel organizers, hardware fastener containers, or custom cylindrical enclosures.
⚙️ Key Parametric Variables
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
inner_diameter | 40mm | 15mm - 150mm | Usable inner diameter of the cylinder cavity. |
inner_height | 60mm | 20mm - 250mm | Internal depth of the lower storage chamber. |
wall_thickness | 2.4mm | 1.2mm - 5.0mm | Shell thickness (recommended 3+ perimeters). |
lug_tolerance | 0.35mm | 0.15mm - 0.6mm | Clearence gap between the bayonet lugs and lid tracks. |
knurl_density | 24 | 0 - 64 | Number of radial grip flutes on the container lid. |
🖨️ 3D Printing Recommendations
- Material: PETG or PLA+ (PETG provides optimal layer adhesion and flex for locking lugs).
- Layer Height:
0.16mmor0.20mmfor smooth bayonet ramp engagements. - Perimeters:
3 - 4 walls(ensures strong solid lugs without needing infill support). - Infill:
15% - 20% Gyroid. - Supports: None required — bayonet entry chamfers are engineered at 45° overhang angles.
