Pill Box with AM PM Apertures V3 - It's Personal! There is a newer version of this thing: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3445696 This beast is getting more complicated but hopefully, it ticks more boxes. In this remix I have: 1. Integrated removable trims to allow personalisation of the Pill Box lid and body with either 2D or 3D printed decals. In addition to the uploaded 3D print decals, I've included a jpeg template and a multiple layered Photoshop file (PSD) within the files to be used to overlay your own 2D printed decals. The separate clips and 3D Decals also offer a greater variation to colour palette options when 3D printing without the need for a dual extrusion printer. 2. Included a more robust and hopefully longer lasting Ratchet assembly. If you like whizzing the thing around with an enjoyable click, this is the Pill Box for you! 3. Included an XL body which is 10 mm deeper than the standard or V2. For users with a lot of daily meds. Assembly Notes 1. I've still included 2 apertures in the ratchet collar/body to allow for spring tension if preferred (In V2, I used 2 x springs from standard Biro pens). The revised Ratchet assembly performs much better and therefore the springs are not absolutely necessary but tension from a single spring does improve the tactile feel. The receiving holes for the springs are now more regular and retaining spring insertion is much easier than V2. 2. Although I've included a 3D printed decal for the AM-PM apertures, it's very hard to achieve a satisfactory print at this level of detail and would recommend using a 2D printed decal and glue or use double sided tape to adhere within the provided recess in the top of the base/body. This option will provide a much more clean and professional looking result. 3. Please see the exploded render for a guide to the general assembly of the components. I may upload an assembly video at a later date. 4. Please note all threads are left-handed (Day Decal Clip and the fixing bolt threads). 5. The Day Decal threaded trim works fine but due to it being a 150mm 3D printed thread, there is a tendency to bind a little on first application. I would suggest using a little vaseline on the inside of the trim thread to help to thread the first time. 6. To reduce the play in the lid and ratchet, the tolerance between the Fixing Bolt Base and Ratchet Collar has to be quite tight. Therefore, I've included various ribs and tabs that can be sanded or shaved if there is any larger variation in printer tolerances. 7. In the example images, I've used a Pets Pills Top Decal. Update: 29/11/18 - Uploaded an additional Ratchet Collar with a slightly thicker arm to improve the clicking sound when rotating ratchet. Update: 21/12/18 - Uploaded Day Insert Trim without supports Update: 29/12/18 - Uploaded Revised Lid (V3_1) which includes rotation direction arrows. Update: 19/02/19 - Included Pets Pills Top Decal
