Lid with external threads

[dlguess]

Container had the threads inside. Am I missing something? It's 2AM here so I could be. Trying to make a pencil box for my great grandkids' teachers. Yeah I know there are numerous ones out there. Just personalizing them. More of a pen than a pencil, I wanted it round instead of hexa whatever.

@dlguess you're not missing anything: Screw on in the Lid tool puts the thread on the outside of the container's top and inside the cap, like a jar. A lid that screws into the container isn't there. @marcus040473 is that something for the lid tool?

You can already build it yourself with a Thread from the shapes: a Threaded rod as the plug under the lid, and a Tapped hole of the same size dragged into the top of the container and grouped with it, which gives the container its inside thread (guide).

Not sure if I sent the other or not, nothing showing in sent so here goes again.  I was just wondering if it was there before I started using the other way. Thanks as always.

No, a lid that screws into the container was never part of the Lid tool, so you didn't miss an option. The way I described above is still the one that works today.

@marcus040473 you built the screw and bayonet lids: would a lid with the thread on its plug, screwing into the container's inside, fit the Lid tool?

[marcus040473]

@henmedia yes, I think it fits the Lid tool well, so I built it. It is in my test version now: https://marcus040473.github.io/?editor=1

The Lid tool has a new kind, Screw in: the pot gets the thread inside its opening, and the lid is a flat plate with a threaded plug below it that screws in until the plate sits on the rim. The outside of the pot stays smooth, so it suits a round pen holder. It takes the same thread as Screw on (pitch, turns and fit work the same), the plug is hollow to save filament, and both parts print without supports: the pot upright, the lid on its plate.

To try it: hollow a cylinder with the top open, select it, click Lid, pick Screw in and click Make lid.

I will send the pull request to Stefan next. Let me know how it prints for you!

Way cool. I’ve officially stopped working on the one I was attempting. I was having problems just the width of the thread to the container, the tread would cut thru it. No joy in Mudville there. Thanks again, many times over.

@dlguess the Screw in lid is out in layerling 1.151.0. The thread sits inside the pot's opening and the outside stays smooth.
