100 "00" Capsule Filler Machine

thingiverse

This capsule maker / machine is one of my first designs that I have ever made myself. It is designed to fit and fill 100 "00" capsules. Once assembled, it is relatively easy to use once you use it a couple times, and makes filling capsules a breeze. I normally separate the capsule halves into two bags / piles, and then fill the bottom with the longer half, and then the top with the shorter half. Once the top is filled, you can place the middle piece over the shorter halves in the top plate, keeping the small indents facing up. Then you can proceed to fill the capsules with your supplement. The packer piece can be used to push your supplement down into the bottom halves, to fill them more. Once they are filled, and ready to be closed, you will take the top / middle plates together, and then flip them, and place over the bottom / base plate, making sure you keep the middle / top parts together. Then press down evenly, and then lift the middle / top parts off together, and then you can press each of the capsules completely closed, and then you are done. (You will normally hear a click when a capsule is closed.) *Note: Top half is the small capsule plate.
