Two week pill container, medication dispenser

cults3d

Pill container and medication dispenser with mechanical stops able to hold two weeks' worth of pills. Each slot is clearly marked with a weekday, making it simple to see if you have taken your daily pills. There's also one extra slot marked "!" for special circumstances like pain relief, heart- or allergy medicine. The dispenser has a simple yet efficient two-function turn mechanism that prevents you from turning the lid in the wrong direction, and will snap the lid into position for every day with an audible "click". This effect can be adjusted with the center bolt. If you have very weak hands, loosening the bolt will make the lid easier to turn. If you're traveling, slightly tightening the bolt will prevent it from accidentally turning in your bag. The lid forms a lip around the container edges to prevent light from interfering with light-sensitive medicines - for those I also recommend printing with a high infill to block as much light as possible. The grip-friendly shape of both the container and the lid makes it easy to turn, even with weak hands. The rounded flower seed-shaped slots prevent pills from getting stuck in the corners. Only 90mm wide including the lid, but still capable of holding more than 130 medium-sized (9x5mm) pills. Uses a single 20mm (excluding head) M5 bolt, a matching nut (regular or locking), and a 10mm washer (optional). In the photos I'm using a socket head bolt, but I've designed the opening large enough to use wider head bolts as well. Update 2017-01-20, version 11 A problem with the top part has been fixed - The center pillar was a tiny bit too wide and needed to be sanded down. This version eliminates that need, as well as refining the outer rim. Update 2017-01-28, assembly instructions Detailed assembly instructions have been added, both as a PDF (zipped) and as images. Update 2017-04-11, plug An optional plug can be used to fully lock the lid in place (useful when traveling) and will also prevent dust from entering.
