YpsoPump Travel Line Change Station

I designed and made this travel box for my partner who has T1 Diabetes. We were getting frustrated at both the challenges of finding clear and stable flat surfaces to safely lay everything down when changing lines, and the fact that there were very few available aesthetically pleasing quality-of-life improvement accessories. Living with T1 for life is bad enough; being constantly reminded of that fact with impersonally clinically design forced upon you really rubs it in. 

This foldable travel container features:

• Pump holder stand to ensure that the YpsoPump stays upright while your hands are busy moving the line.
• Reservoir storage to keep the new insulin reservoir protected during travel.
• Reservoir holder stand for keeping the reservoir upright during line change.
• Sleeve for holding an Orbit (Micro or Soft) Infusion set in its packaging.
• Sharps bin holder.
• Slide lock to secure the container when not in use.
• Customizable grid panels. Grid holes are 5mm diameter and 10mm apart. The outer surface can be personalized with engraving before printing. Recommended engraving depth of 0.5mm into the panel.
• Tactile surfaces and non-visual aids for reliable gripping and box orientation.

In addition to the printed parts, you'll need:

• 8x M2.5x8 screws to secure the grid panels to the frames. 
• 2x M2.5x5 screws for the slide lock.
• 1x M1.5x10 dowel pin for the reservoir storage cap (such as this one).
• 3cm diameter tube container with max height of 55mm for the sharps bin holder. We use a CareSens Pro test strip tube container.

The following parts need to be printed with supports:

• frame A
• frame B
• reservoir_storage_cap_ypso
• sharps_bin_holder_module - test_strip_tube_holder_careSensPro
• inserter_holder_ypso_module
• ypso_combined_module

Assembly

• Install the sharps bin holder before the pump and reservoir storage holder unit.
• Install the pin on the reservoir storage cap before securing it to the grid.
• Hinges are snap fit.
• Secure the grid screws after the grid end caps are in place.

While this particular model is designed for an YpsoPump with Orbit Micro Infusion sets, the grid panels are designed to be modular and could accept holders and storage for other pumps that fit into the grid system. Remixing is most welcome. 

Thanks for checking out my work. If you like what I'm doing please give it a like and consider buying me a coffee!
