Design Concept

After making the TPU version of these lids I decided to have a go at making a PETG version. I still prefer the TPU version, but these PETG ones actually works. I'm just not sure how long they will last with being in the fridge and all the bending. So far so good. Why not print and test for yourself?

There are two sizes most commonly used here in SA.

74mm diameter - 400g/410g cans. (Baked Beans, Tomato & Onion Mix etc.)

101mm diameter - 820g cans (Most dog food cans)

Use

These lids can be used for covering unused portions of canned food, while their flexibility allows easy application and removal. Ideal for pet food or canned beans, they help in reducing plastic waste by replacing disposable covers or foil.

Please note that these do not make the tin waterproof and is only for short-term storage, you know... (Consume within x days after opening and so on...). Do not freeze.

Make sure to use food-safe filament. - Lids can be washed with the dishes and reused. (Not sure if it is dishwasher safe)

I'm no professional so it took a few test prints before I got it right - If you find these lids useful in any way... Please leave a 'LIKE'.
