3D Model - Cup Lid design

Contest Brief

We are looking for lid design ideas for a double insulated stainless steel cup. This cup will be mainly used for hot beverages like coffee/tea at home or in an office.

The lid will go into a mug that does not have threads - it will be a press in type lid with rubber rings to seal.
It should be dishwasher safe and fairly easy to clean. Most likely, we will make it out of plastic from a mold.

We are most interested in the opening of the lid and how the lid will seal. We love how Yeti designed a lid with a magnetic enclosure for their mugs and tumblers. We are looking for an idea like this which is very simple, yet effective. It doesn’t have to be fully leak proof, but the lid should be spill proof -> it can allow for a little liquid to come out if it is tipped over. Of course, leak proof would be great :)

We will have an engineer make the precise measurements to take the lid from a concept to an actual product, but we need you to show your work in an STL file so we can get started.

Requirements
- STL file with your design
- interior diameter of the cup is 7.5 cm
- as simple as possible (easy to clean)
- dishwasher safe

Nice to have
- leak proof
- magnetic mechanism
- something unique
- premium quality design

Please avoid
- NO springs
- NO flip opening (ie. Miir)
- NO threads (press in lid type only)

Please see the attached photos to help you get started
1. Yeti lid
2. mug base that we will use

We’ll have future projects and will contact people directly who submit interesting ideas even if your idea isn’t chosen.

Thank you very much for your submissions.

    Sure, I will come up with innovative and unique designs and make sure that it doesn't exactly look like YETI!. Thanks for your suggestions. I'm working on the new design.

    Hi, I´m working on a design. I just wanna ask if you have a STL, OBJ or Part (solidworks) file to work with. Thank you

      No, I don't have a starter file for you. It doesn't have to be perfect to get started. We're looking for ideas.

      Hello Sir. Since you've liked some of the changes I've made in my last entry, and there's still some time left and there's more room for improvement, I'd like to know what else you'd like changed/improved in my design (perhaps in inbox/comment on my entry). I have liked working so far on this contest and would like to get my entry as close to what you've envisioned as possible :) Thanks.

      We really want the mug to be easy to drink from though and having the drinking area further away from the side might be messy.
