Description
The Covid shot left me with a lasting impression, that requires me to take medication multiple times throughout the day. In order to accommodate this, I designed a small container that I can easily carry in my pocket and will hold a full days dosage. The medication is sensitive to humidity, so I included a seal in the top.
The container was printed in PETG and the Gasket was printed with TPU. I have a dual extruder printer, so I printed the seal in-place. This can easily be done by selecting both files when placing them on the print bed, and tell the slicer they are a single object with multiple parts. You can do the same with a single extruder printer, but you will need to set the printer to change materials when it gets to the seal.
The same is true for the cover with the Caduceus symbol. I have printed them with 2 different colors of PETG and with PETG and TPU. If you use TPU you can print everything at one time using a 2 extruder printer. TPU sticks well to PETG and looks nice. I printed at 0.12mm with a .25 nozzle, in order to get good detail on the Caduceus. You can also print the lid without the symbol for a small more general purpose container. You will need to do this if you have a single extruder printer, as the Caduceus is inset into the cover.
*Note: When carrying meds in the container it is a good idea to place a piece of cotton in the top. This keeps the pills from bouncing around. Otherwise, especially with uncoated pills, They tend to break-up and you end up with just so much powder.
