My wife requested a cap that could snap on to the top of a can to help keep the contents fresh while in the refrigerator. She had been using plastic wrap, but we both felt that that was wasteful, since you can only get a few uses out of it. A reusable lid would be less wasteful over time.

I did a search here on Thingiverse and found a few designs that would sit on the top of the can, but I felt like one that could snap on and hold would be better. So, here is what I came up with.

3. The version 2 (V2) file includes more slots in the rim of the lid. Th
