Make a jar with a lid to 3D print.
5 shapes, ribbed or smooth, a word or logo on the lid.
The Jars with Lids generator makes a small jar and its lid for rings, earrings, pins, clips or craft bits. You pick the shape and the size, smooth, ribbed or beaded sides, and how the lid goes on: down over the jar like a hat box, flush with it, or with a plug pressed into the mouth. The lid carries a word or a logo, inlaid in a second colour or pressed in.
Examples
How to make a jar
Pick the shape and size
Five shapes, the size across and the height with the lid on.
Choose the sides
Smooth, or ribs or beads 3 to 10 mm apart.
Choose the lid
A sleeve that goes down over the jar, or a cap with a plug pressed into the mouth; then how tight.
Mark the lid
A word in one of 11 fonts or your logo, inlaid in a second colour or pressed in; a library pattern round it if you like.
Export and print
The jar prints standing, the lid face down beside it.
What you can change
- Size
- 30 to 140 mm across, 16 to 120 mm tall; wall 1.5 to 3 mm; lid 1.6 to 4 mm.
- Sides
- Plain, ribs or beads; the wall keeps its thickness behind the grooves.
- Lid
- A word or a logo, inlaid flush or pressed in 0.4 to 1.2 mm; a word too long for the lid is set smaller.
Printing tips
Tip.Try the normal lid fit first. If the lid sits loose or tight on your printer, switch to snug or loose and print the lid again.
The 3MF keeps each colour as its own object, so a printer with automatic filament changes (such as a Bambu Lab AMS) prints it in one go. With one colour, print every object in the same filament.
Questions
Which lids are there?
A sleeve that goes down over the jar, flush with it, and a cap with a plug pressed into the mouth; each snug, normal or loose.
Can it have my word on the lid?
Yes, a word or a logo, inlaid in a second colour or pressed in.
Is it for food?
It is meant for small things: jewellery, pins, clips, craft supplies.
What file do I get?
A 3MF, which keeps each colour as its own object for a multi-colour printer, or an STL. Every file is checked before it downloads: closed (watertight) geometry, a single shell and walls thick enough to print.
Is it free?
The free plan gives 3 designs a month on each generator. Selling the printed pieces needs the Seller or Studio plan, which include the commercial licence.
Licence
On the Free and Maker plans you may print your designs for yourself and as gifts, not for sale. Selling the printed pieces needs the Seller or Studio plan, which include the commercial licence and a licence certificate for each design. Pieces made during the free beta, before paid plans launched, may still be sold on the terms of that time. The exported files themselves can never be resold or redistributed, on any plan.
