Trying to find a fermentation screw on lids for the 6.5g big mouth bubbler.
Why does big mouth bubbler have threads?

I don't think they make them. I find the straps hold the lid down great at least for me.
All you need to do is trim the top silicone ring and only the most vigorous fermentations will blow it off. I also know a guy with a lathe.
I think they "used" to make threaded lids, but quit. You could look at the 1-gallons, they may have threaded lids / I could be thinking of somethign else.
@passedpawn - Did you print those or were they purchased? Interesting.
I've used my BMB's plural for years, many times, never had an issue. I have a 1/2" stainless blow-off tube in a large #10 stopper and it's never plugged. If folks have issues w/ lids popping off I'm thinking there's an underlying reason like - don't let the blow-off plug up, problem solved.

The original lid for these bubblers did have a threaded ring. The ring held down a plastic plate, and that plate was leaky (no rubber gasket). It worked fine, but you never saw activity in your airlock.
They quickly replaced that system with a "universal lid", designed with an awful silicon seal. I had 6 of the original. I also bought 6 of the universal lids. I trimmed the universal lid so that the ring could be used with it. More more at the following link:

Interesting.
Something changed over time, my lids are black, and they fit great. Every silicone... ring...I guess I'd call them goes down into the neck. I wonder if it's the lid, or the carboy itself?

The original screw on lids did not seal well, so they started using the push in tops. I had to buy the newer style, they should have replaced them for free.

I used duct tape.
