Pill Box

Instructions A tiny case for your medication, securely closed by a miniature box. To close and open this small case, use a paperclip that keeps both halves shut tight. Make it personalized by printing your name or logo on it and superglue it to the top of the box. Inside this box are two magnetic catches. These magnets keep the case shut. Each is 2 millimeters wide and 4 millimeters tall, held in place by a small bead of superglue that keeps them secure in their tiny holes. This is a sturdy box, no additional support was needed to build it. I made this with twenty percent filling in every hole, at a thickness of three milimeters, using an extra layer of shell material. Printing the box took one and a half hours. Update 03/20/2015 To make it even better I added a few revisions. Revision two makes the magnet hole a bit deeper to keep them from popping out. It also made the case fit shut with less struggle. In revision three, the hinge grew bigger and will now easily hold a paperclip without any problems at all. I did have to add some extra help so that it printed correctly, however - a thin line of material for it to print around in its own path was used. This made things easier in general, and because of the larger size I made one slight change for better support, too.
