Threaded jar / container

A shelled body with a neck thread plus a matching screw lid.

A screw-top container: a shelled cylindrical body with an external thread on its neck, plus a lid with a matching internal thread laid out beside it so both print flat. Both threads reuse the shipped thread primitive, so the male and female forms conjugate and preview equals export. The lid bore is cut a hair oversize for a printable fit; increase the wall or the thread turns for a stronger closure. Everything stays editable in the property panel and the timeline.

  1. Open the Generate panel from the left sidebar and choose Threaded jar (under Containers).
  2. The body and its matching screw lid drop in side by side as editable parts. The parameters open in the Properties panel, where you set them.
  3. Set the outer diameter, height, and wall thickness.
  4. Set the thread pitch and the number of thread turns on the neck.
