Splitshot Dispenser for Fly Fishing

thingiverse

My first post on Thingiverse! Got my first 3D printer (Creality CR-6 SE) about 2 weeks ago and I'm loving it. This is a remix of LoboCNC's wonderful '31 Day Spiral Pill Box' for easy, no-spill access to splitshot while fly fishing. For those who don't know what splitshot is, they're multi-sized small weights that are added to fly fishing rigs. I reduced the number of compartments to 15 to reduce the height. Changed the days of the week to a single 'S' for 'small'. Added raised lettering (LOCK ->) to the sliding locking mechanism to allow some grip for your thumb and easy recognition. I further reduced the size of all 3 parts in my slicer to 75%. My intention is to print multiple dispensers in different colours and the appropriate letters (S, M, L XL) for easy spotting in my fly bag. Photos show the end result with comparison to the original size. Files include the taller, 31 compartment design with an 'S' for 'small.' The sliding lock works for both the tall version and the short, 15 compartment version.
