Why buy a film canister when I can design and print one?

I needed some film canisters for 120 film and turns out they're actually hard to find.
And when I did find models for them they had super thin caps so I decided to model one up with a better (IMO) method for securing the cap than threads.
Here's a link for those that want to check it out.
I also made a version for 116 film that's also in the link above.
Also if anyone has a roll of 220 film they could snag the dims of for me that would be great.
Yeah it's definitely not for long term storage, it's primarily for something to put the film in after it's been exposed before I can get it developed and added protection during shipping.
Ideally they spend less than a month in the tubes before getting developed though.
Fun little fact about 120 film: it's just paper on the outside of roll between the film and the outside world. It basically has an IP rating of "lol" after it's been taken out of the foil.
I'm planning on making some more 120 film accessories as I dive more into it, because it's kinda niche and I'd love to make the accessories for it have a lower barrier of entry.
