Screwable pill container

prusaprinters

<p>I wanted something simple, rugged and compact to EDC one pill of Ibuprofen, without its packaging being damaged by other tools I'm carrying in the same pocket.</p> <p>It was my first attempt at designing something with a thread in FreeCAD and it worked out pretty well.</p> <p>It measures 14x29mm on the inside and roughly (depending on which one you pick) about 20x30mm on the outside.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p><strong>pill_container_bottom_full_thread</strong></p> <p>Bottom piece, thread starts at 15mm and goes all the way up into the screw-on cap.</p> <p><strong>pill_container_bottom_half_thread</strong></p> <p>Bottom piece, thread is cut in half but container has the same overall size. Saves a bit of material and makes it easier to grab on to the pill, if it gets stuck in there.</p> <p><strong>pill_container_top_regular</strong></p> <p>Screw-on cap <em>without</em> a keyring hole</p> <p><strong>pill_container_top_keyring</strong></p> <p>Screw-on cap <em>with</em> a keyring hole</p> <p>Although PLA works just fine, I recommend printing this in PETG. The added flex helps keeping things tight.</p> <p>Using the Prusaslicer 0.15 default speed profile it prints in just under an hour.</p>
