Glass yogurt pot lid (La Laitière type)

🍯 Parametric TPU Lid for Glass Jars ("La Laitière" Type)

Give your glass yogurt pots a second life! This model was specifically designed to fit the famous La Laitière (Nestlé) pots, but its strength lies in its parametric design.

Thanks to the use of TPU (flexible filament), this lid offers mechanical sealing and ideal flexibility for daily use.

⚙️ Total Customization (Parametric Model)

The file is designed to be adjusted according to your specific needs or for other brands of jars. You can modify the following variables:

• Top Diameter: To fit perfectly to the jar's opening.
• Rim Size: To define the lid's "grip" on the glass.
• Fillet (Rounded Edges) Size: For a more aesthetic appearance or smoother handling.

💡 Interesting Use Cases

Once your jar is closed, it becomes a versatile container:

1. Workshop Organization: Perfect for storing screws, nuts, or beads while seeing the content.
2. Spice Jar: Ideal for storing your homemade spice blends or dried herbs.
3. Snack Transport (Dry): Carry almonds, nuts, or seeds without them scattering in your bag.
4. Sewing: Transform the jar into a pin or button holder.

⚠️ Important Warning: Food Safety

While this lid is practical, it is crucial to note the following points regarding 3D printing:

[!CAUTION] This model is NOT certified for direct food contact.

• Porosity: 3D printed TPU has micro-cavities between layers where bacteria can proliferate, even after washing.
• Material Composition: Unless otherwise stated by your manufacturer, standard TPU contains chemical additives not compatible with food.
• Recommended Use: Preferably use it for non-food items or for protected foods (e.g., with film or for dry shelled foods). Do not put in dishwasher (risk of deformation and release of substances).

🛠 Recommended Print Settings

• Material: TPU (Flexible) - Shore 95A recommended.
• Infill: 15-20% (depending on desired flexibility).
• Layers: 0.2mm for a good compromise between speed and finish.
• Adhesion: No support needed.
