I kept the buoy the same size when I modeled a container. The dimensions were based on plastic test tubes but were reasonable compared to the magnet. The container was tapered on the bottom because I did not need it to be thick, but it got thicker near the seam where I included threads. If the screw-together design works, I can optimize for threads that do not necessitate such a wide spot. The cap was hollow so that the buoy could go up that high, but the internal curvature was not the same as the buoy because it was easier to make it a thin shell. I will see if the extra air pocket proves useful.
