A friend who has ALS needed something to help him fill his weeks supply of meds as his dexterity decreases. He sketched out what he had in mind, and together we tested 2-3 prototypes.
This model fits a pill container whose slots are 21.5mm (approx. 13/16") center to center for an overall length of 152mm (6").
The Pill Filler should be easily scalable in the slicer if your pill container isn't exactly the same size as the one pictured here. I've also included a FreeCAD source to allow larger changes to be made. Look for the "Dim" spreadsheet in the model. It has all the dimensions.
Printed in PLA:
Nozzle: 0.4mm

Supports: Organic (but standard will work)
