Compartmented box with separate lids

thingiverse

I needed a box to hold four weeks of pills, and I needed some form of separate lids so that I could get a single chamber open and dump out those pills. The result is not fully separate lids, but sliding lids for each week. Since I needed the pills one day at a time, it works out just fine, but if you needed random access to a particular compartment, this may not be for you.

If they weren't tight, they could just slide out the side too easily. But it's a balancing game, and it's dependent on how finely calibrated your printer is for dimensional accuracy. There is a variable called 'slop' to help with this issue. More slop makes for a looser fit, less slop tightens it up. You want there to be resistance the first time you slide the lid through, but you don't want it to jam. As long as you can slide the lid all the way through, it will smooth itself out after 2-3 slides to a stable resistance. The slop variable is a pretty fine-tuned one. For my machine, 3.0 makes the lids fall out, 2.0 makes it impossible to insert them at all. 2.5, fortunately, seemed to be right at the sweet spot for me.
