Pill Puncher

thingiverse

My mother struggles greatly with removing pills from their container due to her arthritis. We have an Ultimaker 2 at work, so I decided to create a Pill Puncher for her. Existing Pill Punchers on the market are often too small and tricky to handle, plus they don't accommodate larger pill sizes. I designed a Pill Puncher that fits comfortably in your hand, making it easy to use, and can push out different types of pills from their containers. You can see how it works here: https://youtu.be/JYc5pHEz2fM Designing the Pill Puncher was a process. I sketched out ideas, created models in Cinema 4D, encountered setbacks, but eventually came up with this design. It prints well without requiring support structures.
