This is a remix of this fine banana model by Booom π https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2141725
It's an average banana size, so perfect to use for your everyday "banana for scale" banana (what I printed it for), but to make it even more useful, I decided to convert it into a container, by peeling it into two 1.5mm shell halves along the contours of the banana.
The join seam incorporates a small lip in both halves which seats and holds them in alignment. The model also includes some fine supports under the lid's lip contour which can be easily cut and smoothed away after printing, but I found were necessary to keep the seams overhang profile tidy.
