Description

I tried to create a design that is simple and functional. In this design it has a mechanism in which you press down on the top and it dispenses a pill.

Function: this design has 3 parts: 3D printed spring and two caps that join together to create one cap. In order to use this you must place that cap with the thread above the holes in the base container. Then you will place the pill that you need for the day in the container. Once you've done that you screw on the top lid.

Note:

  • The spring only works if it's printed in PTEG, IT WILL NOT WORK WITH PLA.
  • If you don't have AMC unit I recommend painting the letters
  • When twisting the thread you might have issues with the arrow aligning with the hole in the cap. In order to fix this just spin the containers back and forward to wear down the thread, thus making it able to fully close.

Dimensions:

  1. Space For Pill: Length - 30mm, Width - 37mm, Depth - 55mm
  2. Full Container Size: Circumference - 89mm, Height - 130mm
  3. Slot For Pill to Exit: Height 27mm, Width - 47mm

How well does this scale up to larger sizes?

It scales up pretty well, but if you scale it up to much you might find issues with the internal spring.

when I printed it I didn’t have trouble with the spring. did you use PLA instead of Petg? in order for the spring to print correctly you have to use Petg
