I'm going on a trip, and I needed a storage solution for hair gel, so I printed one. The object as designed will fit about 1.3 fluid ounces of whatever you desire, but the tolerances are pretty loose, so you could probably scale up about 10-15% without much trouble, assuming you have a decently-tuned process.
I added my initials to the top of the lid, but that's not included in the final stl file. I did export and include the Fusion 360 file so you can modify as needed.
Printed at .1mm layer height at 220C, 30mm/second. No supports needed*. The threading is a little treacherous, so you'll want to take it slow as you build. I printed with Polymaker Polywood for the base, which I'm still trying to properly tune, and which is pretty flimsy. So I lost a little fidelity on the threads, and there was some sagging on the overhangs underneath the lip. Still opens and shuts cleanly and easily, however.
* I was concerned about the weakness of the Polywood, so I added an indent to the bottom of the container so I could easily remove it from my print bed without breaking it. That indent does require supports, but I've provided a second stl without the indent that doesn't.
