Description

This is a remix of DjangoCashflow's design - https://makerworld.com/en/models/173835

It's a great pill organizer design, three clicks to move between days and it stays locked in place quite well. I printed this for a family member with wrist issues so wanted it to be fairly easy to turn.

I wanted a clean top, so the Bambu logo has been removed. I had some sizing issues where the internal fins were a bit too long so it was very difficult if not impossible to twist, which created a scenario where the whole fin structure could break off. The screw size was a bit big for the threading as well.

After a few iterations these modifications have made it turn out very nice:

Fin sized reduced, it now turns with a reasonable amount of effort while still staying locked into place and maintaining its clickiness
Fin structure strengthened with a bit more material at the bottom (hidden after assembly)
Screw width reduced from 9.5 to 9.0mm

Assembly is intuitive, use a jewelry flathead screwdriver to install the screw.

Printed well, nice design. I had to trim a little off the top of the screw thread to get it started. The only suggestion I have is to put the day on the outside of the container, as they are covered by any pills that are in it.

Good suggestion on the letters on the outside - uploaded a new version with that change https://makerworld.com/en/models/225451 Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks for adding a smaller screw, new version works great 😁 I really wanted to like this version, but the screw thread is just too tight and I've sheared off two of the screws inside the head trying to tighten them :(

I think that's a fair criticism, it is definitely really tight. If you still want to make it work I added a print profile with adjusted screws, I imagine the one on the first plate will help and if not there's an even smaller one on the second plate.

Thank you, printed great. Had issues with the screw initially. It would not start when trying to screw it in. Changed the screw layer height to 0.08 and it screwed in right away. Cheers.
