This is a set of parts that converts a usually discarded tin can into something that can be used for storing hardware, small parts or anything else you desire.
The idea was to come up with a way of adding a threaded lid to a tin can. After several iterations, I came up with a design that uses a lock nut that once tightened using the provided tools, it's extremely difficult to remove, even if you try.
In addition, I'm including two options for organizing the modified cans:

Wall mount can holder: You need to print one of wall_mount_part1.stl and wall_mount_part2.stl. In addition, you will need two 1 1/2 drywall screws, to connect the two parts and 3 screws of desired length to mount the hinge to the wall.

Under shelf mount: The under shelf mount requires 5 screws and holds 4 jars.
I was able to print every part at layer heights of .2 and .3 and had no issues. No supports are required.
