Summary

I started designing a new top for an old cereal container lying around the kitchen and decided to make a combo thing and throw it up here.

This model didn't print well at all so i'm going to rebuild it... unsure if i should delete it or not.

CURRENTLY UNHAPPY WITH THE MODEL. DO NOT DIRECTLY PRINT FROM STL.

How I Designed This

I started with a top down photo of the old cereal container and traced it with a mirrored cube in Blender. I then extruded inward to make the pour spout and essentially repeated all that to make the flap.

I then traced the channel in the top and extruded downward for the container.

This was my first attempt at making a snap hinge. If you find it doesn't work as intended please let me know.
