Creating a lid for a jar

Post by JurgenG »

Hi,
I just thought I'd quickly create a lid for a jar... after all a screw thread is a screw thread and there's that fancy Fasteners workbench, right?

So then I picked up a jar...Crikey... those screw lines are different on the jar! They seem to be the same in the lid though. I was kinda blown away by this.
After some researching, I found this page:
https://www.sks-bottle.com/CapNeck.html
I pretty nicely documents how the naming convention works, and what I should look for when I'd want to order these lids. But not if I'd want to make them.

Anyone here who could point me to a (or be the) resource on how to get started with that lid?
