Weekly Pill Dispenser - with removable lid

Hi guys! ^-^

My mom asked me to make a new pill box for my father as his old one is not closing anymore. Sure thing, mom! As I also wanted to learn how to use Fusion360 it was a great training to make this box over and over again until it covers all the needs of my father. 😄

He wanted to have a pill organizer with just one compartment per day - no need for morning and evening. In addition the box should not be too big. The smaller the better. And in addition: It should have a closing so the organizer can be transported to somewhere else. 

I found the design from @3DCrafts_5365 which is close to what I wanted to have but it is not that easy to open the lid and in addition it is way too big. So I designed my own one. 

Through the design process I made a few more different types of boxes and as I know that not everybody is in need of just one compartment per day, I also designed it with a separation for morning and evening. 😊

If you need other languages feel free to contact me and I will create other languages for the weekdays as well. ❤

What do we have here?

• Big box (approx. 10cm)

  • The box itself with one compartment

  • The box with two compartments per day

  • Box with two compartments and symbols for day/night

  • The lid

  • The knob for easier moving the lid

• small box (7cm)

  • The box itself with one compartment (more is not possible because of the tiny box)

  • the lid

  • knob for easier moving

How to print?

You need to print a box, a lid and the knob. Just decide what you want to have. :) 

• Printed with PLA

• 0.4 nozzle

• 0.15 layer height

• filling to 30% or more if you want to make sure no light shines through

No supports needed!

How to assemble?

Both box sizes

Press the knob into the lid and if necessary glue it together. 

Big box

Set the open part of the lid to Sunday. That way it fits perfectly and will glide into the box. You can take it out and put it in in the same position. All other positions are not possible to lift or press the lid into the box (well, not without pure violence..). 

Small box

Set the open part of the lid to Monday. That way it fits perfectly and will glide into the box. You can take it out and put it in in the same position. All other positions are not possible to lift or press the lid into the box (well, not without pure violence..). 

It might be that the small box needs a few fixes because of the small gaps. I would recommend using little pliers to get rid of small piles of filament or anything that might block the lid in its gap.

Thanks to @3DCrafts_5365 for the original idea! I liked the design of the round pill box!
