Pill Boxes

thingiverse

OpenSCAD defaults offer 16-sided polyhedron representation for spheres, like two seven-sided pill boxes when using "sphere(r=2);". Pill_Box_01.stl is created from this polyhedron portion, has sloping sides, and may be challenging to print. Simpler Pill_Box_02.stl features vertical seven-sided walls, holds more pills, and potentially easier to print. Both boxes are labeled with day names. Two lids secured by a pin are included: one is flat with integrated pin, while the other has raised edges and uses separate pin. Images of lids are displayed left. Code for lid with pill compartments is in lid_nice.scad. DXF files were created from Inkscape using "Inkscape OpenSCAD DXF Export". Detailed instructions on this process are included as comments within scad files, particularly the Sunday module. Centering text is crucial for proper use of rotate and translate commands in text positioning modules. Polymaker's "Inkscape OpenSCAD DXF Export" was utilized to generate dxf files, which are bundled together in week_txt.zip for experimentation purposes. Most objects have flat surfaces, making printing effortless; however, the pin may need a raft for successful printing.
