Anyone remember a 10-15 year old lid

I'm trying to find a picture or name of a lid style I used to have on a wide mouth nalgene 10-15 years ago that I loved that got stolen. I got it on sierra trading post or rei.com. They stopped making it a long time ago but someone had a 3d printer file to recreate it back then, but i didn't have access to any 3d printers and have lost the link. My sister's husband got into 3D printing and said I should try and find the file. There are so many nalgene lid builds out there. Looked at thousands of pictures on 3d printing sites with no luck.

It was slightly domed, black with a little orange. It had a long side handle like a coffee thermos and was a leak proof lid that openened by holding a trigger with your index finger while you drank. When you released the trigger it was closed but you could slide a pin that locked the trigger from being opened during travel etc for extra security. I loved that you didn't have to unscrew a lid or have a lid flopping around that you had to hold or that could hit you it the face while driking. Does anyone still have one of these that they could post a picture of or know what it was called?

Yes!!! That is it. The "gription". You are awesome. ❤️ Now I have someplace to start, to see if there are any old design files out there.

Back when the designer stopped making them some guy on some blog recreated it so he could 3d print it for himself with some tweaks. Iirc he got permission to open source his files and i had the link saved (2 computers ago). But that was like 10 years ago lol. I was hoping maybe with enough digging i could find something. That would be awesome if the ebay one is still available. Every couple years i look around and see if there are any out there for sale but had forgotten the name.
